The defence and security industries are at the cutting edge of monumental change — ever-evolving to adapt, accelerate, and advance the UK's progress in technology, logistics, and education. As an anchor institution to a region possessing a rich military heritage, the University of Lincoln seeks to engage further with our defence and security community — sharing knowledge, developing skills, and encouraging innovation through collaborative research.
At the University of Lincoln, we intend to build on our existing sector-wide partnerships to continue our trajectory in providing evidence-based, sustainable, and forward-thinking solutions for our partners engaged in all forms of defence and security activity.
Aligning with our industrial research strategy, academic colleagues across the University are engaged in numerous research projects to solve real-world challenges facing our Defence and Security sectors. Our Defence and Security Research Network (DSRN) seeks to engage with the armed forces and industry partners to find solutions together. If you’d like to find out more about our academic expertise relevant to defence, space, and security, please get in touch.

The Greater Lincolnshire Regional Defence & Secuity Cluster (GL RDSC) is one of three formally recognised Clusters in the UK. It began as a network and industry-led forum founded by the Greater Lincolnshire LEP, its Defence and Security Advisory Board, and the University of Lincoln. Bringing together national and international defence organisations, manufacturing, research, development and innovation expertise, the Cluster provides a single forum to overcome sector challenges and identify business opportunities in Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland, while identifying opportunities for funding and innovation-led initiatives.
Greater Lincolnshire is now recognised by the Government as a Regional Defence and Security Cluster, after being formally approval by the Government’s Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA).
