Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme

What SPS does

The SPS Programme brings together experts and scientists from NATO and partner countries to jointly address issues of common concern along the lines of civil science, technology and innovation. The Programme provides funding, scientific and technical expert advice and support to tailor-made, security-related activities through established grant mechanisms.
