International Association for Military Pedagogy

The International Association for Military Pedagogy (IAMP) [http://www.militarypedagogy.org] was founded in November 2005 in Strausberg (Germany) as a successor to the European Military Pedagogy Forum (EMPF).

The IAMP is an independent co-operation network of professionals whose studies focus on education and training in the military setting and whose goals include the dissemination of information that would assist, develop, improve, and establish professional military institutions of advanced learning (e.g. military academies and staff colleges). The purpose of IAMP activities is to forward and encourage critical and deep discussion and development in the theory of military pedagogy. Academics concerned with such subjects in civilian institutions of higher learning are also welcomed to participate in the Association.

The Association seeks to accomplish its goals of improving military institutions of learning by promoting research and publication as well as information sharing among its membership. In order to fulfill its purpose, the IAMP seeks to establish contacts and relationships among military institutions of higher learning, as well as among national and international agencies that support, plan, and develop programs and facilitate studies of a similar nature to the stated goals of the Association. Annual conferences hosted by member institutions contribute to the establishment of international and interdisciplinary contacts.

Membership in this organization is open to individuals with a professional interest in military pedagogy, a dedication to developing professional military institutions of advanced learning, and/or an ability to address subject matter supporting the intellectual development of military professionals.
