Add event to calendar

The last EDA Test and Evaluation Community Days took place in 2022, and since then, there is a considerable demand for defence material to enhance Europe's capabilities. The war of aggression against Ukraine has brought several changes to Europe, including how we Test and evaluate defence material. Additionally, the evolution of weapons systems and the impact of Emerging Disruptive Technologies in Defence also bring new challenges for the Defence testing community.

With this in mind, in 2024, EDA is co-organizing with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration the 4th Test and Evaluation Community Days Conference in Linköping, where the bridge between traditional and new innovative functional areas will be discussed.

The event is open to Government, Industry and Research/Academia experts from the EDA Member States. Third Countries with an Administrative Arrangement (AA) which are involved in EDA Defence Test and Evaluation activities can also participate in the event.
