The event was held in Rome, Italy, and online during 21-22 June 2022, and was hosted by the Italian Centre for Higher Defence Studies (CASD). A total of 102 representatives (88 in-person and 14 online), from 65 different defence education institutions and NATO staff, representing 28 Allied Nations and Western European Partner countries, participated. The main objectives were to (a) review in detail the different sixteen DEEP programmes; (b) identify the current and upcoming subject matter expert (SME) provider requirements; (c) discuss the main challenges related to the ongoing programmes; (d) identify best practices/lessons learned; and (e) serve as a venue for specific education expert groups to discuss the way forward in their support for the programme (e.g. Non-Commissioned Officers).
