Upon request of the leadership, I joined the Nordic Civil-Military Research (NCMR) Network based in the Tampere University (Finland) under TASER (Tampere Security Research Center).

The primary goal of the NCMR Network is to improve and coordinate the capabilities of higher education institutions to provide useful teaching in areas of military science and political science. This network will focus on providing a platform for collaboration and cooperation, through which researchers from both fields can interact and dismantle barriers that isolate military scientific community from the research conducted in the civilian sector.
