The new edition of the COEs catalogue is available on the NATO-Allied Command Transformation website.

NATO Centres of Excellence are nationally, or multi-nationally funded institutions accredited by NATO. They train and educate leaders and specialists from NATO member and partner countries, assist in doctrine development, identify lessons learned, improve interoperability and capabilities, and test and validate concepts through experimentation. They offer recognized expertise and experience that is of benefit to the Alliance and support the transformation of NATO, while avoiding the duplication of assets, resources and capabilities already present within the NATO command structure.

“In these extraordinary times, with war in Europe and a transformed NATO following its Madrid Summit, it is more vital than ever that the Alliance makes use of all available resources to further its mission. The NATO-accredited Centres of Excellence provide an effective way of tapping into the expertise and innovative ideas to be found within our member states. Individually, they each bring a specific expertise to the wider set of NATO capabilities, and together make all of us stronger in the process,” states General Philippe Lavigne, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Transformation in his introduction to the new edition of NATO – Accredited Centres of Excellence Catalogue.

NATO – Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is in charge of the establishment, accreditation, and periodic assessments of the centres.
