"In this call, we solicit your ideas of fictitious political-military scenario concepts to be played out in StratCom training exercises (such as a table-top exercise, or TTX). Selected concepts will be further refined and modeled into StratCom exercise frameworks during our upcoming symposium on StratCom scenario and exercise development," a dedicated website announcing the competition says.
The best three submitted scenario concepts will win their authors an invitation to participate in an upcoming symposium for StratCom exercises and scenarios in Rīga with travel, accommodation and meals fully covered.
Individuals or teams are eligible for participation and scenario concepts should be in English and not exceed 1,500 words.
