Within the framework of the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme (SPS), experts from Algeria, France, and Sweden have developed the first terahertz imaging technology in North Africa. NATO Assistant Secretary General for Emerging Security Challenges, David van Weel, and General Serir Aomar, Dean of the Ecole Militaire Polytechnique in Algeria, participated from NATO Headquarters and Algiers, respectively. High-level participants in the event stressed the value of this initiative not only in the fight against terrorism, but also as an example of practical scientific cooperation between NATO and its partner nations.
