On July 26th, our University and the NATO Defense College will sign a Memorandum of Understanding in recognition of the mutual benefits accruing to their academic communities from the establishment of strong academic links.  The purpose of this Memorandum is to promote cooperation between the two institutions through the exchange of staff and students, academic materials and publications and establishing reduced tuition fees and the recognition of ECTS for former students of the NATO Defense College interested in the MIPA course.
