About the Forum

RAND is hosting a virtual workshop that brings together stakeholders to discuss opportunities for the future of Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) in the U.S. This workshop will be a "bottom-up" discussion whereby stakeholders meet in small groups to prioritize key objectives for JPME, identify requirements and capabilities to meet these objectives, and then identify ways to implement these capabilities.

Chatham House Rules will apply to this event, meaning that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.

To attend this workshop hosted by the RAND National Security Research Division, please register online by April 14th.
