MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS
'KEYS TO MASTER COMPLEXITY'

The Operational Environment (OE) has continuously evolved; Peer and near-peer adversaries have emerged challenging the stability and interests of NATO. Combined with this, global proliferation of advanced information technology has reshaped the nature of conflict. It is difficult to maintain a technological edge in all facets of warfare. Now, the term “Multi-Domain Operations” (MDO) is being used more and more to define the OE and Engagements of the future, but what does MDO truly mean? How is it different from Hybrid Warfare or the Comprehensive Approach? What has to be changed for joint forces to effectively conduct MDO? Is the consideration of MDO required to understand and guide NATO´s Warfare Development of the future? 

The NATO C2COE annual seminar will focus on Multi-Domain Operations and its impact on Command & Control (C2). The aim of the webinar is to challenge participant´s preconceived notions of MDO by providing the latest insights and perspectives on C2 and a changing OE. In order to achieve this, the C2CoE will invite a variety of experts sharing their viewpoints on various aspects of MDO, thus illustrating the needs, opportunities and challenges surrounding the current and future battlefield.

This three day online event will exist of several presentations and panel discussions with each day a different theme:

  1. Defining Multi-Domain Operations
  2.  Strengthening Multi-Domain Operations
  3. Concept Development for and within Multi-Domain Operations

SEMINAR TURNED INTO WEBINAR

Originally the Annual C2 Seminar was planned to be held in Bratislava, Slovakia, however due to the COVID19-pandemic we decided to switch from a traditional Seminar to a webinar, an online live conference which will be interactive with participants getting information, asking questions and discussing in real-time. 

Recorded and presented in-house from our office in Utrecht we can assure that it will be a great alternative to our ‘normal’ Seminar. And… participation is free.
