Round table – Resources and programs for professional military education
How can the Handbook of Military Sciences project enhance military education? Can the project take advantage of communities of practice and networks of learning within and outside the ISMS? Can collaborative higher-education programs develop and enhance knowledge of military sciences?
Round tables can take any form that is useful to the participants in the working group, and will be organized at the discretion of the working group chair. Chairs may also decide to forego the roundtable option in order to allow participation in other panels.
While the traditional panel involves presentations followed by questions and answers, a roundtable will normally be more interactive, and involve the audience as well as the people on the roundtable, in a free-flowing discussion like a seminar.
