ASPI is delighted to invite you to the ‘Grey zone and Disinformation Masterclass’, a one-day intensive event that will provide participants with a strategic overview of grey zone and disinformation operations, and policy options available to counter these tactics and techniques.
This ASPI Masterclass will explore the challenges posed by grey zone and disinformation operations, and the opportunities for liberal democracies to respond, both individually and as part of a coalition.
The 'Grey zone and Disinformation Masterclass’ is the second instalment of ASPI’s Sovereign Priorities series 2021 which will assess the tensions, trends and challenges that dominate the environment Australia operates in. The series will conclude with ASPI’s International Conference ‘Shape, Deter, Respond: Implementing the 2020 Defence Strategic Update’ on 10-11 June.
