NEC seminar September 2008

The NEC seminar has been the eight in a series of semi-annual NEC seminars in the Program of Work of the C2 Centre of Excellence. It was organized in close, transatlantic cooperation with the National Defense University in Washington DC. The seminar was held in the facilities of the C2 Centre of Excellence in Ede, The Netherlands, from 9 – 11 September 2008.

Our aim was to enhance NEC awareness by explaining the concept and sharing the experiences with NEC to the audience.
Objectives of this seminar:

*  explain the theory of NEC (NCW) to the audience, compare it with the experiences from operations in Iraq and
    Afghanistan, NRF and Disaster Relief Operation,
*  discuss about Human Dimensions in the NEC environment during the workshop,
*  inform the audience about the NEC implementation progress in nations (NOR, DEU, NLD) and NATO strategic framework,
*  identify possible critical aspects of NEC (Cyber defense, C IED fight).

We brought together experts with an operational background in the field of NEC from nations, NATO entities, industry and other organizations to address these issues. The focused three day seminar  sought to achieve its aim through a combination of presentations and discussions.

There were 39 participants from 11 countries presented at the Seminar.

Christine MacNulty, the speaker of the Day 2 morning, led a workshop related to human factors in NEC environment. Mrs MacNulty also presented her product "Truth, Perception and Consequences"
