The Australian Naval Institute

The Australian Naval Institute invites abstracts for presentation at the 2026 Goldrick Seminar, to be held in Canberra on 4 November 2026.

This year's theme, Maritime Power and National Resilience, will explore the challenges facing Australia's maritime security and the role of naval power in building resilience across an increasingly contested strategic environment. We welcome submissions from defence professionals, academics, policy makers, industry and practitioners, as well as members of the broader community with expertise in maritime affairs.

Presenters selected by the Program Committee will have the opportunity to contribute to one of Australia's leading maritime strategy forums and may be invited to publish their work in the Australian Naval Review or the ANI Policy Paper Series.

Abstracts of up to 300 words are due by 15 August 2026.
