ABSTRACT
The paper deals with issues related to security and defence as seen from the perspective of the
role played by military education. The essence of the new security environment realm and
new threats for security are described. The importance of military educational institutions
is underlined. In this context, observations and reflections on education and training based
on NDU Warsaw’s experiences are offered. There are four leading issues mentioned. The
first one is the approach to military education, the second one is the curricula, the third
one is research and the lessons learned, and the fourth one is to share the experiences of
an activity aimed at forging strategic trust. Finally, the author puts forward suggestions on
how to strengthen educational cooperation in the Europe and Asia-Pacific region.
