DILP 2026 Program Schedule


An agile, dynamic program

Since its inception in 2010 the Defence Industry Leadership Program has updated its format to maintain relevance with an industry facing new challenges.

This year will see a group industry project and presentation replace the former Research Paper component of the program. However, previous Research Papers are retained here as a testament to the volume and quality of work performed by past DILP cohorts.
