Main_Body_Multi: The NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) today released the 2023 Collaborative Programme of Work Report, detailing more than 300 ongoing and planned research activities undertaken by the world’s largest defence-focused science and technology research network. 



The Collaborative Programme of Work (CPoW) aims to equip NATO and Partner Nations with the science and technology (S&T) they need to develop interoperable, cutting-edge capabilities.With a cumulative value of approximately EUR 300 million (USD 322), its activities cover a wide range of areas that are of critical importance to NATO militaries. These areas include, among others: cyber, space, biotechnology, autonomy, sensors, weapons, command and control, human-machine interface, modelling and simulation, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and operational analysis.


The 2023 Collaborative Programme of Work Report details the publicly releasable portion of the 2023 CPoW, including a list of all ongoing S&T projects, as decided by Nations. As such, the publication reflects current S&T priorities across the Alliance. 


“Science and technology are the foundation upon which life-saving military capabilities are developed, and upon which prosperous, resilient societies are built,” said John-Mikal Størdal, Director of the NATO STO Collaboration Support Office (CSO), which coordinates and facilitates the CPoW. “In light of the precarious global security landscape we face today, it is imperative to ensure that NATO Nations have access to the best weapons and equipment. Securing NATO’s technological primacy begins with the Collaborative Programme of Work.” 


This CPoW is underpinned by a unique, voluntary and in-kind Collaborative Business Model that brings together around 5,000 exemplary scientists and engineers in government, industry and academia from across the Alliance. Through participating in the CPoW, NATO Nations benefit from the shared knowledge and technology that lead to life-saving capabilities in the battlefield, while also multiplying their own S&T investments.


All activities under the CPoW are carried out by seven Technical Committees comprised of national and NATO Body representatives, as well as world-class scientists, engineers and analysts. In 2022, the STO Panels and Group carried out more than 300 activities in their respective areas of focus. An overview of this work can be found in the 2022 Book of Abstracts, also published this month by the STO. 


Researchers interested in participating in the CPoW are kindly requested to contact their STO National Coordinators. For further enquiries, please contact stoinfo@cso.nato.int.
