A calling notice will be issued for each EG meeting 3-4 weeks ahead of the meeting date via this BNATO Industry Support email list. Once the calling notice for a specific study is issued, participants will need to register for the EG meeting using the NATO Defence Investment Portal at: https://nas.hq.nato.int/DI-NIAG/SitePages/events.aspx.

For 2023, all NIAG Study EG meetings will be held in-person only at NATO HQ unless there are unforeseen circumstances. As there is no approved VTC technology at NATO Unclassified, no virtual or dial in option will be available. The NIAG Office and national NIAG Delegation agree this situation is not ideal and are strongly encouraging the approval of the required VTC technology by NATO security authorities.
