Date: (26-10-2023)
The Academic Advisory Board (AAB) and annual CMDR COE Steering Committee (SC) sessions are the venues where the Framework Nation and Sponsoring Nations set out all required prerequisites to be provided by the CMDR COE every year.
The AAB was led by the Chairperson Prof. Dr. Sc. Eng. Mitko Stoykov who presented a report on the supported activities 2023, and together with the members of the Board offered their contribution to the upcoming events settled in the Program of Work 2024. The AAB members assist the CMDR COE in its future academic activities and methodology for course evaluation.
The Steering Committee is the strategic governing body, responsible for the approval and management of the Centre's Programme of Work and the shared budget. The session of the Steering Committee was opened by the Chairperson of the SC, Lieutenant General Mihail Popov, who welcomed the representative from the Framework Nation, the Republic of Bulgaria, the representatives from the Sponsoring Nations, namely the Hellenic Republic, Hungary, the Republic of Poland, and Romania, as well as the observer from the Embassy of the Republic of Türkiye.
The CMDR COE SC members acknowledged the presented CMDR COE activities for 2023, discussed the Financial Budget, noted the proposed changes on the structure and the main documents. A report on a new CMDR COE Strategic Perspective 2024-2028 was delivered to the participants at the meeting. Considering the proposed Program of Work for 2024, the Steering Committee members allocate the priorities of the activities and then task the CMDR COE Director with managing the programme execution.
These important for CMDR COE meetings were once again marked by fruitful discussions and constructive deliberations. The members have been provided with multiple examples which demonstrate the CMDR COE’s readiness and preparedness to continue advancing its work in support of NATO’s overall transformation, especially in the CMDR domain.
