The final event of the last year’s conference was a Group Discussion on the Russo-Ukrainian War of 2022.” I put together some notes (7 slides) to start the discussion and it sort of turned into an impromptu briefing: Russo-Ukrainian War 2022
These notes were later used as the starting point for this briefing: Casualty Estimates for the Russo-Ukrainian War | Mystics & Statistics (dupuyinstitute.org)
This later briefing was filmed: Links to R&D Seminar “Lessons Identified from the War in Ukraine” 6th – 8th December 2022 | Mystics & Statistics (dupuyinstitute.org)

We had a total of 31 presentations given at the first Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC). We have the briefing slides from most of these presentations. Over the next few weeks, we are going to present the briefing slides on this blog, maybe twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursday). In all cases, this is done with the permission of the briefer. We may later also post the videos of the presentations, but these are clearly going to have to go to another medium (Youtube.com). We will announce when and if these are posted.
The briefings will be posted in the order given at the conference. The conference schedule is here: Schedule for the Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC), 27-29 September 2022 – update 16 | Mystics & Statistics (dupuyinstitute.org).
