The rapidly changing geopolitical context, the changing forms of conflict and the transformation of societies call for greater openness in strategic thinking. The creation of the ACADEM is a response to this need.
The twenty or so research, higher education and doctrine bodies that the École Militaire brings together in the fields of defence and national security constitute a unique group in Europe. The aim of ACADEM is to make this a more integrated platform for exchange, open to all those interested in strategy or war studies, and an incubator for thinking on an international scale.
26 October 2023, Mr Sébastien Lecornu, Minister for the Armed Forceswill pronounce the founding speech of the Defence Academy of the École Militaire (ACADEM).
