II. Partner Country Priorities
Technology Transfer to Address Partner Country Priorities

10. NATO Priorities (1)
Scientific Collaboration for Defence Against Terrorism
Rapid Detection and Diagnosis of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN Agents and Weapons
Novel and rapid methods of detection (e.g. chemical and biosensors, multisensor processing, gene chips
Physical Protection against CBRN agents
Decontamination of CBRN Agents
Destruction of CBRN agents and weapons
Medical Countermeasures (e.g. Chemical and vaccine technologies)
Eco-Terrorism Countermeasures
Computer Terrorism Countermeasures

11. NATO Priorities (2)
Scientific Collaboration to Counter Other Threats to Security
Environmental Security (e.g. desertification, land erosion, pollution, etc)
Water Resources Management
Management of Non-Renewable Resources
Modeling Sustainable Consumption (e.g. food, energy, materials, fiscal measures and environmental costings)
Disaster Forecast and Prevention
Food Security
Information Security
Human and Societal Dynamics (e.g. global security, economic impact of terrorist actions, risk studies, topics in science policy.
