Crises and disasters normally demand a response that brings together the common effort of a variety of actors and stakeholders. Thus, we all, representatives of governmental bodies, civil and military, must be responsible for ensuring that we have in place good crisis management and organizations capable for managing any unexpected situation. We have to maintain and further develop the expertise as to fulfill the expectation that the public has entrusted us".

The course's roster covers lectures as NATO StratCom Concepts & Policy, StratCom Frameworks, StratCom & Hybrid Warfare etc.
