Our academic head atteneded @acad_em in the first Wargaming a Paris event, organized by Patrick Ruestchmann, and hosted by Académie de défense de l'École militaire and CICDE - Centre Interarmées de Concepts, de Doctrines et d'Expérimentations.
🎬 Clap de fin pour Wargaming à Paris
Durant ces deux jours Wargaming à Paris a vu des tables rondes et sessions de pitches animer les débats et réflexions sur les apports du wargaming pour les Armées, directions et services.
🎲 Également rythmé par de nombreuses démonstrations et séances de jeux, cet événement a été marqué par la richesse des échanges entre participants aux profils variés, civils comme militaires, novices comme experts.
📍Wargaming à Paris s'est ainsi affirmé comme un rendez-vous pour la réflexion stratégique. Le succès de cette première édition, marquée par une forte participation et une dimension internationale, témoigne de l’intérêt croissant pour cet instrument stratégique au service de l’analyse, de la formation et de la prise de décision.
