About the Research Division

The NDC Research Division is part of a larger analytical network within the Alliance. Our mission is to provide research that is strategic-level, that looks two to five years ahead, and assists NATO decision-makers by expanding policy options, raising awareness, and testing new ideas. We contribute to NATO’s 2030 agenda by applying foresight techniques, assessing future scenarios and supporting Alliance preparedness.
We also have an essential educational role within the NDC: we help to develop curricula, we lecture, and we support College activities. The NDC, its staff and its Course Members are as much our audience as are leaders across the Alliance.
When we equip Course Members with a strategic-foresight toolkit, we are helping them develop their skills, enabling future NATO leaders with new ways of framing and solving the problems that the Alliance has yet to face. By supporting NATO’s current and future decision-makers, we are helping to make the Alliance more secure.
