“Our longstanding belief at the War Studies University is ‘We respect tradition, we build the future,’ said Colonel Andrzej Soboń, Dean of National Security Faculty of War Studies University. “This partnership with GNSI is a great example of two organizations from across the globe working and learning together to build a better future for both our countries.”
This new agreement expands GNSI’s strategic academic footprint in Poland. The institute already maintains a similar partnership with the General Tadeusz Kościuszko Military University of Land Forces in Wrocław.
By strengthening ties with these leading Polish institutions, GNSI aims to foster deeper transatlantic academic collaboration and prepare future leaders to address emerging global threats.
