The Science for Peace and Security programme is an opportunity for the academic community and the NGO sector to cooperate directly with NATO experts in science to address new security challenges.
The programme offers funding, expert advice and support for civil security-relevant activities that meet the strategic objectives of NATO and member states and aims to jointly address the challenges of cyber-defence, anti-terrorism energy and environmental security, i.e. the development of advanced security-related technologies.
