Since its creation, ALLIES at USNA has sponsored and participated in several programs to better bridge the gap between military and civilian leaders.
Education for Public Inquiry and International Citizenship
EPIIC is an annual four-to-five day public forum featuring international practitioners, activists, academics, public intellectuals, and journalists. It consists of presentations, panel discussions, topical forums, informal gatherings, multimedia and dramatic presentations, and workshops.
Joint Research Projects
The Joint Research Project (JRP) is an annual and one of our core programs. Students conduct research, participate in a cultural immersion exercise, and build relationships with students from different disciplines. The JRP occurs during the summer and provides students the opportunity to investigate topics of shared interest and release findings in an integrated civil-military setting. The trip’s destination and research focus are determined by the participants on a year-to-year basis. In the past, members from Navy have traveled to Jordan, Chile, Uganda, Ukraine, Panama, and Rwanda.
