class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The two-day meeting began with opening remarks from Dr Nielsen, the Dean of the NDC, who set the tone for collaboration. Dr Nielsen emphasized that the NDC did not just want to create a set of authors working for the College, but a community of interests, a network of knowledge, a relationship. The NRAFs were carefully chosen by the Research Division based on their profiles and expertise. Their contributions help the College to become more diverse in terms of topics and viewpoints and perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">All invitees contributed to various expert panels on topics such as the \u201cFuture of War\u201d and the \u201cIndo-Pacific\u201d, moderated by NDC researchers, including NDC Research Director, Dr Florence Gaub and Senior NRAFs. Participants had the opportunity to present current projects or share key topics they believe should be prioritized for future work in their respective fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Representing a wide range of nations, the two days underscored the vital role of international expert collaboration in advancing the College&#8217;s research and shaping future strategic initiatives relevant to the NDC and NATO&#8217;s broader agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">NDC Public Affairs Office<br>(Prepared by Ms Britt Melinga, NLD
