Academia is an IH most trusted partner
Collaboration can take many different forms:
Subject Matter Expertise
Faculty, Students and Staff can contribute their expertise to any open project/initiative
See landing page for ongoing initiatives
Project or Event Partnership
An Academic Institution can partner with IH for the organization of a project or an event. This provides the partner with maximum visibility from the event and maximum influence on the project.
Examples: ENSC (France) and Norfolk State University co-organized the Cyber Psychology Project
I4D - Innovation For Defense
Universities can make solving a NATO issue part of their student curriculum. With the support of a NATO mentor, the professors will guide their students towards solving a concrete issue over one or more semester.
Examples:
Penn State University developed the Extended Hand solution
Johns Hopkins University and Czech Technical University have been developing solutions in the field of Disinformation, Military Medical Support and Cognitive Warfare projects
Internships - Onsite and Online

Onsite interns are welcome pending the signature of an agreement between NATO SACT and the University
