Practical Examples ofCivil Cooperation (1)
! Disaster preparedness and protection of the population are key elements of NATO’s Partnership for Peace (PfP) CIVIL EMERGENCY PLANNINGactivities. Special attention has been directed towards planning and preparing for avalanches, chemical accidents, earthquakes, floods, nuclear accidents and the transport of dangerous goods.

The Security Through Science Programme
HISTORICAL CONTEXT
! The origins of the Programme go back to 1956, when a report on non-military cooperation in NATO by “Three Wise Men” – the foreign ministers of Canada, Italy and Norway – asserted that progress in the fields of science and technology can be decisive in determining the security of nations and their positions in world affairs.
-
The Security Through Science Programme
OVERVIEW
! The Security Through Science Programme offers grants to scientists in NATO, Partner and Mediterranean Dialogue countries to collaborate on priority research topics.
! The aim of the programme is to contribute to security, stability and solidarity among nations, by applying science to problem solving.
-
The Security Through Science Programme
FRAMEWORK OF THE PROGRAMME
NATO Science Committee
Overall policy guidance for the Programme is provided by the NATO Science Committee, which is composed of representatives of each NATO member country.
-
The Security Through Science Programme
FRAMEWORK OF THE PROGRAMME
Science Committee Advisory Panels
The Science Committee is assisted by advisory panels in its work of assessing and selecting applications for support. Panel members are chosen by the Committee from among the international scientific community.
