International Defence R&T Organizations
Given the great weight that R&T international collaboration has in today´s context, the Ministry of Defence channels a substantial portion of its research and technology activities through the main international organizations which cover the two basic strategic dimensions: the European and the Transatlantic ones.
In the European framework, R&D collaborations are established mainly through the European Defence Agency (EDA) and the LoI Framework Agreement. Regarding the Transatlantic dimension, cooperation takes place via the NATO Organization called STO (Science & Technology Organization)
