21st EU-NATO Roundtable - 26th October 2022

Strategic Communications

On 26th October 2022, EUMS organized the 21st EUMS/CONCAP-NATO IMS/P&C Round-table conference, which was co-chaired by the EUMS Concepts and Capabilities Director and the NATO IMS Policy and Capabilities Division Deputy Director.

This event aims to maintain the established network between the two staffs and facilitates the exchange of views on topics related to concept and capability development, as well as fostering the military linkage between the EUMS and the IMS at political strategic level. We conduct this event twice per year.

In this informal round-table several points of common interest, and also of potential common action were identified and discussed. Namely, topics related to the EU Headline Goal Process (HLGP) and NATO Defence Planning Process (NDPP) cycle that are being coordinated through the Informal Defence Capabilities & Conceptual Cooperation Plan (IDC3P).

On a more strategic note, Emerging Disruptive Technologies and Innovation in both organizations, as well as policy development on Climate Change and Security were discussed as a challenge and opportunity for defence related cooperation between NATO and EU.

In order to exchange information and enrich open discussions there were also presented some information briefings regarding the EU Rapid Deployment Capacity, the Evolution of EU Crises Management Military Exercises and the possible Finnish and Swedish ascension and integration in NATO.

As usual, this event allowed substantial discussion on military topics of mutual interest and investigation of ways for enhancing the existing cooperation.
