The NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme promotes dialogue and
practical cooperation between NATO member states and Partner countries based on scientific
research, technological innovation and knowledge exchange. It enables scientists, experts
and officials from NATO and Partner nations to work together to address emerging security
challenges and their impact, by supporting activities in the form of four established grant
mechanisms, which are:
- Multi-Year research and development Projects (MYP)
- Events, in the following formats:
a. Advanced Research Workshops (ARW)
b. Advanced Training Courses (ATC)
c. Advanced Study Institutes (ASI)
Through the SPS Programme, NATO has demonstrated its longstanding commitment to
science, innovation and practical cooperation with Partners. The SPS Programme offers
funding, expert advice and support to tailor-made, civil security-relevant activities that respond
to NATO’s strategic objectives. Participation in the SPS Programme enables experts and
scientists to develop innovative solutions to today’s security challenges, and to build
partnerships with their peers in NATO and Partner nations.
For more information on the SPS Programme and its activities, please visit the NATO SPS
website at www.nato.int/science.
