Excerpt
A little-known science program administered by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), called NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Program, has a successful record of stimulating collaboration by experts from NATO countries with experts from countries from the former soviet block of countries (called partner countries) and several countries of the Middle East (called Mediterranean Dialogue countries). The former countries are associated with NATO through the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, and the latter through the Mediterranean Dialogue. Grants are given to experts for a number of scientific objectives: short-term scientific exchange, organized workshops and training, and longer term sustained research or meetings. SPS program objectives until 2006 were carried by the previous program called Committee for the Challenges for Modern Society (CCMS) Program. The current priorities of SPS are:
•
Defense against terrorism investigates effective detection of chemical, biological or radiological weapons and protection from their trafficking and use.
•
Defense against security investigates factors that could be responsible for resource security problems such as food and energy shortages as well as environmental degradation and their potential solutions.
•
Proactive assessment of problems that are of partner country priorities.
