The NATO Secretary General recognized PSOTC as a Partnership Training and Education Centre in 2007 and PSOTC has been an active member of this prestigious community ever since. This annual conference is an opportunity for the commandants of the training centres, together with representatives of the NATO command structure and other participants, to exchange experiences in the field of training and education for peace operations, strengthen mutual cooperation and discuss how to respond in the best way to the needs for relevant training and education, but also how to overcome challenges that modern strategic environment brings.
