Royal Navy Lecture Programme
The Libor grant has allowed us to bring to fruition a long-held ambition to deliver a series of lectures to the Royal Navy, linking historical events to the theme of modern leadership. These are being given by leading academics, experts in naval history, and each lecture will be recorded and uploaded to the Navy’s digital learning platform, allowing access to learners throughout the fleet. In 2018 the first three talks will be given by Professor Andrew Lambert of King’s College, London, who has kindly agreed to help with the development of the curriculum, coordinating with our contacts in the training section of the Navy. The support of our President, Admiral Sir Jonathon Band, has been invaluable in the development of the programme.
