The U.S. Department of State’s U.S. Mission to NATO announces an open competition to implement a program that strengthens transatlantic security by advancing understanding of NATO’s role in collective defense and defense industrial cooperation.

Programs will target policymakers, researchers, industry representatives, and emerging leaders across NATO Allies and partner countries. Activities may include workshops, exchanges, research, and digital engagement focused on defense investment, industrial capacity, and the integration of emerging technologies. Eligible recipients include not-for-profit organizations, academic institutions, and other entities capable of implementing public diplomacy programs with a clear U.S. component.
