At the Royal Alberta United Services Institute (RAUSI), we're a Canadian-based hub for discussing emerging global security and defence issues. We began as a think tank in 1920, shifted gears to support veterans after the World Wars, and now we're back to being a think tank. We publish original content, curate articles, and host speaker symposiums to explore the complex landscape of 21st-century security and defence.

Join us as we navigate this ever-changing terrain.
