This concerns the final coordination of the centre’s structure, the project of financial costs, the engagement of human resources, and the development of suggestions for the communication and exchange of information, as stated in Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence.

The centre’s goals will be to conduct a collaborative analysis and synthesis of experience in defence and security, to strengthen the training and military education system, to promote interoperability, and to develop the capabilities of Ukraine’s defence forces.
The centre’s efforts will strive to achieve full interoperability between Ukraine’s Armed Forces and NATO forces.
