NATO’s strength lies in its ability to learn, adapt, and evolve together. This workshop exemplifies that principle — ensuring every participant both contributes and leaves with actionable, field-ready solutions.OutcomesThe event will conclude with a consolidated set of best practices and recommendations. These will directly support the evolution of the NATO Mountain Warfare Concept and contribute to the broader NATO Warfare Development Agenda.RSVP / Register online NLT: 07 November 2025Participation fee of 150 EUR, covering the icebreaker event, lunches, and coffee during breaks, will be collected upon arrival.
