NABS+ will deliver 'next generation behavioural science' for security and defence. It recognises the value of embracing new forms of data and analytics in behavioural science, while acknowledging that the emerging possibilities can be a source of insecurity and vulnerability as well as social benefit. NABS+ will respond by developing a behavioural science community that is better equipped to respond to existential and acute threats, who understand and can navigate policy dilemmas, and are adept at working with both 'big' and 'small' data.
NABS+ will be home to a vibrant community of researchers and end-users who recognise the value of combining social scientific theory and novel data analytics to address national security and defence challenges. Our vision is to stimulate and support an interdisciplinary community of excellence that is:
- focused on identifying, prioritising and developing knowledge in analytical behavioural science through a theory-led, data-driven lens
- structured to be agile and responsive to international security trends and stakeholder needs, bringing diverse data and methods to bear on distinct challenges
- driven to create a community that is home to an emerging generation of data literate, behavioural scientists.
