NATO COEs Directors’ Conference

The NATO Space COE Director, Colonel Sylvain DEBARRE, participated to the 2025 NATO-accredited Centres of Excellence Directors’ Conference convened in Prague, hosted by the JCBRN Defence COE, in close coordination with NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT).


The COEs are playing an increasingly important role in NATO’s ecosystem of innovation, experimentation, and capability development! The NATO Space COE represents the catalyst for the comprehension, improvement, and transformation of Space Power by delivering effective solutions and providing relevant expertise to the benefit of NATO.

The meeting ensures alignment between the Centres of Excellence (COEs) and NATO:

  • Strengthening coordination;
  • Reinforcing shared priorities;
  • And future-proofing NATO’s expertise network.
