Late last month the King’s College London held the first of Corbett 100 Events. It welcomed over sixty speakers and delegates from around the world to a conference marking the centenary of the death of British historian, strategist and philosopher of seapower and maritime strategy Sir Julian Corbett (1854-1922).
The conference was the first of three taking place in the UK, Australia and USA throughout 2022-23 as part of the Corbett 100 project. Delegates discussed the life and times of Sir Julian, his influence as a historian on British and global national during the early 20th Century, and his methodology of applied history.

The Corbet 100 Project features a series of special publications and events exploring historical and contemporary questions on maritime strategy, defence policy, seapower, trade protection and future global security, including Space power. The relationships between nations at sea and the ongoing development of navies has been identified as an area of interest to each of the countries in the ‘AUKUS’ partnership, a trilateral security pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Over the next year, more than 350 delegates from 19 countries and a diverse range of backgrounds, including serving military, veterans, academics, policymakers, national representatives and officials, will attend or present at a Corbett 100 event.
The Australian contribution will be the 2022 Goldrick Conference to be held at the Australian Defence Force Academy on 21-22 September titled Asia-Pacific Maritime Strategy in the 21st Century. It will feature speakers from Canada, India, the UK and the US. Further details are at: https://navalinstitute.com.au/events/major-events/
