The Open Debate in Stans is open to the general public. We are looking forward to a diverse, interactive and creative discussion with people from various backgrounds and with high-level panelists. You can also participate with our Livestream. The gender dimensions of social conflict, armed violence and peacebuilding are multifaceted and complex. Twenty years after the path‐breaking UN Security Council Resolution 1325, gender has been mainstreamed into most peacebuilding activities but adequate implementation on the ground is hampered by the current lack of evidence‐ based promising practices. The r4d research project "Gender Dimensions of Social Conflicts" tries to overcome this lack and assembled gender, security and conflict researchers from Indonesia, Nigeria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (UK).

  • On the Road to Training and Education
    On the road to Training and Education Edited by: Frédérique Jacquemin Senior Programme Manager, Defence Institution and Capacity Building Directorate, Operations Division, NATO HQ. Marija Sulce Intern, Defence Institution and Capacity Building Directorate, Operations Division, NATO HQ. Partnership Training and Education Centres’s work is at the core of NATO’s business. Education and training are among NATO’s best tools for enhancing the stability and resilience of both Allies and partners. Through them, everybody is a winner: · Nations gain visibility; · Institutions gain credibility; · Faculties gain a broader experience of working under the NATO umbrella; · NATO’s role in the military education domain is reinforced, and · The world gains more stability through intellectual and military interoperability. Assistant Secretary General, Operations Division, Dr John Manza 3 4 ABOUT PTECs Partnership Training and Education Centres (PTECs) are nationally or multi-nationally sponsored education and training institutions which are united under a single concept that is recognized by NATO1. The centres offer courses and academic seminars for national and international military and civilian audiences. They improve the professionalism of their national personnel, increase international troop interoperability, and conduct education and training activities related to NATO partnership programmes and policies. In addition, they provide platforms for exercises and training of an operational character, including in preparation for deployment to NATO-led operations. These activities are offered to both Allies and partners. Currently, the PTEC network is comprised of 33 centres based in 26 NATO and partner countries: 17 centres are in 12 NATO nations, 16 centres are in 14 partner nations. PTECs are active contributors to capacity building in the defence and security domain.
