The Middle East programme is supported by three associate fellows. The RUSI Journal Regular articles in the bimonthly publication on Middle East defence and international security matters, including statements by policy makers and senior figures in Middle East matters. The RUSI Newsbrief New articles each month on timely Middle Eastern defence and security topics. Related Events Lecture and Conference Programmes Lunchtime Lectures are held every one to two weeks at 1300 and are open to all members of the Institute. Distinguished speakers from the Armed Services, public life and the academic community address issues of current interest, after which there is a period of discussion.
Lectures frequently provide an opportunity for statements of public policy.
The RUSI Conference programme features one and two-day events that enable European security issues to be explored in depth by distinguished speakers and panellists drawn from military, industry, government and academia. These events are sometimes closed or feature a fee. In the latter case RUSI corporate and individual members normally receive a substantial discount. An important part of the Middle East Programme is the Middle East Forum, which takes place 10 times a year. The ensuing discussion allows participants to explore the issues in greater detail and to examine future prospects and what the requirements of policy may be.
