Lectures
In pursuit of COMEC’s objective of promoting knowledge of military affairs in the academic community, and the academic study of disciplines of importance to the defence establishment, the Council sponsors a series of prestige lectures known as the COMEC Lectures.
These lectures take place roughly every two years. The Lectures are hosted by the Military Education Committee in one of the constituent universities of COMEC. COMEC Lecturers are normally prominent members of the defence community, civilian or military, who speak on topical issues affecting the UK Services and the defence of the UK.
