Advisors of the Applied Research Consortia (ARC) Project participate as individuals, not as representatives of their institutions. Current institutional affiliations of members are listed here solely for identification purposes.
 
ARC is focused on responding to increasing company, government, and public awareness that the security and prosperity of liberal democracies depends on cross-border collaboration. Advisor contributions, coordinated by ARC staff, are critical to this effort. Policy conclusions and recommendations published and disseminated by the project are, however, entirely the responsibility of named authors of each publication.
