Jubilee Symposium

The Swedish Defence University is grounded in a 200 year long tradition of military education. Over the years, it has developed into a specialized university offering both military and civilian education programs within defence, crisis management and security. This is being commemorating by a series of events. First in line was the jubilee symposium on leadership on April 19, 2018.
