“I believe that our cooperation agreement will be greatly beneficial for both institutions. It will help the Baltic Defence College better integrate the cyber component into our educational curricula, especially in relation to defence planning,” emphasized Maj. Gen. Vitalijus Vaikšnoras, the Commandant of the Baltic Defence College.
“These two unique international military organisations located in Estonia are a natural match. I have high expectations for the strengthened cooperation,” said Sven Sakkov, director of the Tallinn-based NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, a think tank and training facility. “The Centre is a trendsetter for Allies and partners in cyber defence, the Baltic Defence College serves the same purpose in multinational higher military education,” Sakkov added.
The Tallinn-based NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (NATO CCD COE) is a NATO-accredited knowledge hub, think-tank and training facility. The international military organisation focuses on interdisciplinary applied research and development, as well as consultations, trainings and exercises in the field of cyber security. The Centre’s mission is to enhance capability, cooperation and information-sharing between NATO, Allies and partners in cyber defence. Membership of the Centre is open to all Allies. The Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the USA have signed on as sponsoring nations.
