PORTUGAL CHAPTER CHAPTER - Oct 10, 2012 |
Seminar on Maritime Security |
In October, the chapter and the Portuguese Navy's Research Center (CINAV) organized a seminar on “Security and Maritime Situational Knowledge” at the Portuguese Naval Academy. This seminar was part of the 30th meeting of NATO's Science and Technology Organization Panel on Systems, Concepts and Integration (SCI). The event attracted nearly 150 attendees, including 40 SCI members from nations and NATO organizations involved in science and technology. It featured presentations by three communities of interest: entities with responsibilities in this area, sharing their views and challenges encountered during their core activities; academia, presenting possible approaches for addressing these issues; and industry, conveying available solutions or solutions under development. Rear. Adm. Seabra de Melo, PON, commander of the Portuguese Naval Academy, opened the seminar by welcoming the participants and underlining the role of the Naval Research Center. |
