Awarded unconditional re-accreditation for Quality Assurance


Date: (17-06-2025)

The Crisis Management and Disaster Response Centre of Excellence (CMDR COE) is proud to announce that it has received unconditional re-accreditation for quality assurance for a period of six years, valid through 2031.

 

This re-accreditation was granted following a comprehensive evaluation conducted by NATO HQ SACT Quality Assurance Team of Experts. The assessment confirmed that CMDR COE fully meets all NATO quality assurance standards and requirements.

 

This is a significant recognition of the Centre’s consistent excellence, professional expertise, and its strategic contribution to NATO’s transformation and capability development.

 

“We are honored by this outcome,” shared Colonel Orlin Nikolov, CMDR COE’s Director. “The feedback from NATO ACT confirms the strength of our team, the relevance of our work, and our continued value as a key enabler in the Alliance’s crisis management and disaster response efforts.”

 

With this achievement, CMDR COE reaffirms its role as a trusted and high-performing NATO-accredited Centre of Excellence, committed to supporting NATO and partner nations with credible, forward-looking solutions and expertise.
