Mondays at the ihedn

Presentation

Our once-occasional events are now becoming weekly and multi-faceted.

Every Monday, through its newsletter, the IHEDN will offer you either an invitation to a physical or remote conference, or a deciphering article. The aim is not so much the format as our ability to create an agile and permanent link between the Institute and you.

This acceleration of our events and editorial calendar is largely motivated by the evolution of the current strategic context. The speed at which major events are taking place today means that we have to adapt in order to fulfil the Institute's fundamental mission on a daily basis: to bring together civilians and military personnel in the same community of doctrine, thought and action.
