PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION OF AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL SECURITY LEADERS
Welcome
The Australian Crisis Simulation Summit (ACSS) is Australia’s premier student-led national security conference, hosted at the Australian National University (ANU).
Through immersive, high-stakes simulations, we challenge and develop the next generation of Australian national security leaders – equipping them with the experience, insight, and networks to shape the nation’s future.
To support this immersive experience, delegates use custom-built software that integrates:
-
Live news channel from our in-house Summit Broadcasting Corporation (SBC).
-
Real-time newsfeeds, dynamic social media streams, and intelligence updates.
-
Interactive communication between teams via custom-built software.
Delegates emerge
from the ACSS with...
A network of peers
and mentors
Transferable Leadership
and Analytical skills
First-hand insight into Australia’s
national security processes
