Events

National security practitioners, researchers and instructors looking for shifting mindsets for the evolution of security organizations and to address complex situations are invited to participate in our Annual Event: Security by Design!

With Security by Design, we set conditions for participants among NATO Members and partners to learn from one another in their attempt at mobilizing and researching non-linear planning and strategy-making philosophies and methodologies such as strategic foresight, systems thinking, design thinking and transformative game design.

The Archipelago of Design (AOD) is coordinating the event in collaboration with the Naval School of Portugal. This event is the continuation of Innovation Methodologies for Defence Challenges (IMDC) annual conference series initiated in Ottawa in 2018. This year, the event is held as part of the NATO Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping Augmented by Maritime Unmanned Systems (REPMUS24) Conference.

Date: September 18-20, 2024
Location: Naval Academy, Lisbon, Portugal
