The VRP offers the brightest students from NATO nations the opportunity to conduct research on subjects of interest to both the researcher and NATO. In addition to collaboration and networking opportunities, visiting researchers benefit by being able to access CMRE equipment, facilities, and data; the benefit to Allies is a strengthening of their own maritime S&amp;T capacity. The number of participants in the programme has increased steadily over the last few years.<\/p><p>In 2025, the STO Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS) funded additional VRP participants, who have contributed significantly to the Centre\u2019s products across all projects.
