We believe U.S. national security would be better served if all talent were empowered to contribute, regardless of gender, and if cutting-edge academic research spoke directly to practitioner communities.
The Future Strategy Forum brings together diverse, leading women scholars and practitioners to address the most critical national security challenges of the day.
Thank you for everyone who attended FSF 2021: The Future of National Security and Technology

New at FSF
Annual Conference
Each year, the Future Strategy Forum (FSF) hosts a conference open to the public that highlights the expertise of leading women on key national security issues of the day. In addition to our public event, we sponsor PhD students to attend and participate in mentorship sessions.
Graduate Student Programming
Every year we select a cohort of PhD students who we help fund to attend the Annual Conference. As programming has evolved, we have built out a variety of mentorship sessions and publication opportunities.
This initiative is sponsored by the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS and the Smart Women Smart Power Program at CSIS.
If you or your organization want to get involved, check out our page for more information for sponsors.
