North Atlantic Treaty

Article 2: “The Parties will contribute toward the further

development of their free institutions, by bringing about a better understanding of the principles upon which these institutions are founded, and by promoting conditions of stability and well-being. They will seek to eliminate conflict in their international economic policies and will encourage economic collaboration between any or all of them.”

A network for cooperation

NATO Countries (16 +3 + 7=26) Partner Countries:

Mediterranean Dialogue Countries Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia

Other Partners Austria, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland

The fundamental re-orientation of

the NATO Science Programme

Security Through Science Programme

Be in line with new challenges and missions of the Alliance

Have concrete impact on social and economic system of Partner countries

Security Through Science Programme

Address younger generation

Seek synergy and collaboration with other international organizations

Make its achievements known

Security Through Science Programme

In practical terms:

The Security through Science Programme is:

I. NATO Priorities

Scientific Collaboration for Defence Against Terrorism

Scientific Collaboration to Counter Other Threats to Security

II. Partner Country Priorities

Technology Transfer to Address Partner Country Priorities

NATO Priorities (1)

Scientific Collaboration for Defence Against Terrorism Rapid Detection and Diagnosis of Chemical, Biological,

Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN Agents and Weapons Novel and rapid methods of detection (e.g. chemical and

biosensors, multisensor processing, gene chips Physical Protection against CBRN agents Decontamination of CBRN Agents Destruction of CBRN agents and weapons Medical Countermeasures (e.g. Chemical and vaccine

technologies) Eco-Terrorism Countermeasures Computer Terrorism Countermeasures

NATO Priorities (2)

Scientific Collaboration to Counter Other Threats to Security

Environmental Security (e.g. desertification, land erosion, pollution, etc)

Water Resources Management Management of Non-Renewable Resources Modeling Sustainable Consumption (e.g. food, energy,

materials, fiscal measures and environmental costings) Disaster Forecast and Prevention Food Security Information Security Human and Societal Dynamics (e.g. global security,

economic impact of terrorist actions, risk studies, topics in science policy.

Partner Country Priorities

NATO and Partner countries will agree on key priorities in 2004

Priority will be given to proposals which are both NATO and Partner priority
