NATO Science and Technology Organization's (STO) System Analysis and Studies Panel cordially invites you to participate in the third event of Technical Course on Basics of Complex Modern Urban Functions and Characteristics (SAS-149) to be held in Rome, Italy, on 7-9 June 2022.

The course is open to representatives from all NATO Nations and Organizations, NATO STO's Enhanced Opportunity Partners (Australia, Finland and Sweden), NATO Partnership for Peace Nations and New Zealand.

The aim of this course shall provide a foundation to both military and scientists in terms of the attributes of complex modern cities, which continue to evolve with increasing urbanization. This foundation should inform military and scientists in their development of operational concepts, capability developments and science & technology initiatives as well as experimentations.

For this third event, the course is built around three workshops addressing some of the most difficult and relevant problems of urban science for the military:

1) the estimation of weapon effects in dense urban environments;

2) the prediction of urban conflicts on a global scale;

3) the understanding of large and complex urban environments.

Each workshop includes hands-on sessions using state-of-the-art software as well as real-life scenarios and data.
