The Centre for Defence Education Research and Analysis is the central hub for research-related activities for the Defence Academy.
The Centre for Defence Education Research and Analysis (CDERA) contributes to overcoming (and anticipating) real world defence challenges by collating, analysing and exploiting existing research.
We support learners to develop the intellectual edge through investigative and problem-based learning that addresses contemporary issues facing defence, while anticipating those of tomorrow.
