The theme of the conference is Language and security in the military context and it invites participants (officer cadets and civilian students) to explore challenges regarding security and language matters. Despite the fact that the language of conference is supposed to be English, participants are expected to discuss a variety of aspects concerning language itself. It is widely known that the importance of language cannot be neglected, as it is the primary means of everyday communication and the common ground for the achievement of interoperability among our allies. Participants are expected to prepare a 20-minute presentation on their experience regarding, for instance, Erasmus exchange, military training, involvement in international projects, etc. Through presentations and discussions, we hope to facilitate the exchange of experience as well as offer a possibility to start debates on foreseeable international challenges.

Main focus areas:

• Language in the security context
