The Science for Peace and Security Programme offers grants to scientists in NATO, Partner and Mediterranean Dialogue countries to collaborate on priority research topics, which include NATO priorities and additional Partner country priorities. Grants are also offered to assist the academic community in Partner countries to set up computer networking infrastructures and to optimize their use of electronic communication.

How does it work?

Applications for support on topics in the priority areas are prepared jointly by working scientists in eligible countries of the Euro Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC) and countries of the Mediterranean Dialogue. The collaboration must be between scientists in NATO countries on the one hand, and scientists in eligible Partner countries or Mediterranean Dialogue countries on the other.

• Collaborative grants in Priority Research Areas:
• Advanced Research Workshops (SPS ARWs)
• Advanced Study Institutes (SPS ASIs)
• Advanced Training Course(SPS ATC
• Collaborative Linkage Grants (SPS CLGs)
• Science for Peace projects (SPS SFPs)
• Reintegration Grants (SPS RIGs)
• Computer Networking and Electronic Communication support for Partner Countries:
• Advanced Networking Workshops (SPS ANWs)
• Networking Infrastructure Grants (SPS NIGs)
