The 9th International Senior Course in Applied Strategy and Defence Diplomacy will be held at the Hellenic National Defence College (HNDC) in Athens from September 12th to December 13th, 2024.
The course aims to prepare students to deal with the rapidly changing geostrategic environment while performing their duties as flag officers of their countries, as well as to become defense staff officers known for their strategic thinking and critical analysis. This course can advance students’ gratitude and support them in appreciating the uniqueness of the strategic leadership context and the information, skills, and talents required to lead national security organizations in a national and international strategic environment.
The course’s objectives are met by building on and expanding the students’ prior knowledge of strategy, leadership, international relations, crisis management, and counterterrorism.
