 The Senior Leader Seminar is a rigorous academic and practical program in democratic civil-military relations, national and regional security studies, and defense economics and resource management. The seminar is a combination of provocative plenary sessions and small working group discussions. Plenary speakers include renowned scholars, diplomats and experts from the African Union, the United States, and Europe. The plenary serves to frame issues for later discussion in small working groups, which are comprised of approximately 15 participants. One African and one non-African expert of various disciplines and professional backgrounds facilitate these working group discussions under a strict non-attribution policy to promote open dialogue. All plenary presentations and working group discussions are conducted in both French and English with simultaneous interpretation.
