The RUSI UK Cyber Effects Network is calling for abstracts for original papers that address how the UK and allies can optimise cyber effects operations for advantage in conflict.
Selected papers will be included in an Edited Collection to be published (northern) spring 2027. Contributors may also be invited to present their papers at a Cyber Effects Network Conference in 2077.
The Edited Collection will include both traditional research papers of up to 5000 words, and shorter practitioner papers of up to 2500 words. The Network is especially interested in shorter, policy-oriented, analytical contributions that build on evidence and existing debates to further practice.
Submissions are welcome (but not limited to) for the following themes:
- Concepts and doctrine
- Legal and policy
- Capability and technology
Abstracts of no more than 250 words are due 30 July 2026.
