NATO’s Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC) held their 9th Annual Conference 8-10 October 2013.  Bruce Hargrave and Kevin Jacques from the University of Lincoln’s Military Education Group (MEG) were invited to attend.  Panel 4 of the Conference was entitled ‘Education and Training post Afghanistan: The Dawn of real Joint Efforts?’.  Kevin Jacques was one of the four panel members and explained how the MEG works closely with the UK military, particularly the Royal Air Force.

 

The conference hosted representatives from the military, industry and academia.  Over the two days, significant interest was generated in the military degree programmes offered by the School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln.  These include the MSc in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Management offered to students on the RAF QWI(ISR) course at 54(R) Squadron, RAF Waddington.
