OBÌåÓý¹ÙÍø

Overview

Global and National Security Institute 

Today’s national security environment is increasingly complex and covers whole-of-society problems such as extremism, chem/bio threats, climate change, disinformation, transnational crime, and cybercrime. The OBÌåÓý¹ÙÍø is a driving force to counter this trend, identifying global and national security as a strategic area of focus, capitalizing on USF’s status as a member of the AAU, as a Preeminent Research University and its momentum as the fastest-rising public university in the United States over the last decade.

The Global and National Security Institute leads this strategic effort at USF, leveraging the existing academic excellence of USF — itself located in a dynamic, growing metropolitan area — to create a hub of strategic dialogue and action unique to the State University System and the nation. GNSI is raising the profile and prominence of USF by building upon the university’s extensive R&D assets and deep relationship with USCENTCOM and USSOCOM at MacDill Air Force Base, as well as existing partnerships with the Florida Institute for Cyber Security and the Institute for Applied Engineering.

GNSI MISSION:  provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national, and global level, operating on the boundary of security policy and technology.
