Another success for the CMDR COE: another brilliant intern’s programme completed
Date: (02-10-2025)
The CMDR COE is proud to announce that Ms Asya Arsova has successfully completed the first phase of her Internship Programme. She presented her research paper on “Analysing Dynamics and Impacts of Contemporary People Mass Movements: A Multidisciplinary Exploration”, which addresses one of the most relevant and rapidly evolving fields in today’s global security landscape.
The research, conducted in the Capabilities Branch under the supervision of LTC Genadi Kolev, marked a significant achievement for the intern, as it was a challenging task aimed at supporting the CMDR COE’s activities and the development of a laboratory product to help predict and simulate future mass movements affecting NATO member states. The analysis presented a theoretical framework outlining the main characteristics of conflict-related displacement processes and how these are managed in key destination countries.
An additional study was conducted to examine the dynamics and common elements of ongoing displacement crises. The outcome focused on the specific issues that NATO should address and included a set of recommendations to enhance readiness and resilience in crisis management.
Ms Arsova now begins the second phase of her internship, which is scheduled to conclude on 30 November 2025. During this final stage, Asya will continue supporting the Centre’s activities, focusing on her second topic, “Wildfires in the Balkans 2025: Risks, Responses, and Lessons Learned”.
All the staff look forward to the results of the upcoming research and wish Asya the best of luck and inspiration in her continued work.
