On 19 March 2021, a workshop organized by the Center for Defense and Security Strategic Studies (CDSSS) of the National Defense University “Carol I” (ROU NDU) took place. Its aim was to analyze the most appropriate methods and techniques for adapting defense planning documents to the security challenges that occur in the contemporary geostrategic context. The workshop was led by the CDSSS Director and moderated by Col. Univ. Lect. Dr. Dan-Lucian Petrescu and Col. (r) CS III Dr. Crăișor-Constantin Ioniță.
The workshop was conducted in an online format due to Covid-19 restrictions and was attended by 49 persons – UNAp teachers, CDSSS researchers, experts from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the General Inspectorate of Police, the Defense Staff, the Institute for Defense Political Studies and Military History of the Ministry of National Defense and representatives from Armed Forces Services.
Based on the Partnership Agreement signed with the University, the Romanian Reserve Officers Association was invited to participate in this scientific event of great theoretical and practical relevance. We honored the invitation through our representatives, who brought to the attention of the Workshop participants priority issues of interest for AORR, namely the Reserve Forces and Territorial Defense.
