Earlier this fall, Dr. Jeff Collins, assistant professor of political science, represented UPEI at the 2025 Warsaw Security Forum where he participated in the New Security Leader program.

He was one of 44 mid-career officials from 18 countries who were selected to learn together and have discussions with world leaders like former CIA Director David Petraeus, former US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, financier and political activist Bill Browder, and Dr. Hsu Szu-Chien, Deputy Security General for Taiwan's National Security Council.

He also participated in discussions under the Chatham House rule about the major conflicts and tensions facing Europe and the Indo-Pacific, including cyber attacks, the war in Ukraine, and tensions between China and Taiwan. Under the Chatham House rule, participants can use information from a discussion but cannot reveal identities or affiliations of speakers.
