This year’s conference theme is “Collaboration to enable military advantage in an unstable world”. NATO’s strength is our unity, and cooperating on defence and security related concerns is a continuous process in order to solve problems, build trust, and ultimately prevent conflict.  Our rules-based international order is under constant pressure, and alliance members may develop technologically and militarily at different speeds, causing issues in understanding and interoperability.  This can be mitigated through effective collaboration.  Therefore the OR&A conference is seeking presentations and papers that highlight best practices in international collaborative analytical projects, or presentations that offer analytical methods that can be adapted by various organizations in different countries.

The Conference will be open to representatives from all NATO Nations, NATO Bodies, NATO Agencies, Australia, Austria, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland. 

Registration for this event will open in July 2024.
