As the politically strategic processes become more influenced by the information environment, NATO StratCom COE invites university graduates, researchers and other interested parties to participate in the call for scenarios “Beyond Information Influence” by developing innovative and foresightful scenario ideas for exercising strategic communications in governments, military institutions and similar environments.

These scenarios play an essential role in creating a realistic environment for challenging exercise injects. As a follow up for this call, NATO StratCom COE will invite authors of the best submissions to present and further discuss their scenario ideas during the upcoming symposium and exercise the development in Riga, tentatively at the end of this year.
