U.S. Mission to NATO’s 70th Anniversary: New Challenges and Changing Landscapes

Deadline: 13 May 2019

The Office of the Public Affairs Advisor (PAA) at the U.S. Mission to NATO (USNATO) has announced an open competition for not-for-profit, non-government organizations and think-tanks that focus on international affairs, defense and security issues, and U.S. and European relations to submit project proposals. They encourage project proposals to include public, on-the-record discussions and creative public engagements in Europe and Canada on the major theme of “How the Alliance can address new challenges and changing landscapes for the next 70”.

USNATO seeks proposals that illustrate themes around NATO’s strategic focus on deterrence and defense and projecting stability. They seek to support work with specific emphasis on priority issues including burden sharing, disinformation, counterterrorism, cybersecurity, and other areas that will be of focus during the Leader’s Meeting in London. To successfully communicate these policies, the Alliance and its stakeholders must explain and debate these issues with policymakers, media, and their public in the coming months.
