Against the backdrop of Silicon Valley’s vibrant tech landscape, students and faculty from Stanford, Yale, and Oxford gathered at Palantir’s Palo Alto headquarters and Stanford University’s Hoover Institution for the Winter Research Colloquium, hosted by The Next Frontier Seminar (NFS). This dynamic event served as a catalyst for intellectual exchange, where emerging scholars shared their research and engaged in thought-provoking discussions with some of the foremost experts in technology and security.

The Next Frontier Seminar (NFS) successfully held its inaugural launch retreat on September 21st and 22nd at the historic Ker Arvor Estate in Newport, Rhode Island. The retreat brought together 18 exceptional undergraduate students from Yale and Stanford Universities, organized into four research teams, who will engage in NFS’s intensive year-long program focused on the intersection of technology and international security.
