As an accelerated version of WMGIC’s flagship event, our fall competition provided a platform for undergraduate students to develop solutions to global problems related to defense and diplomacy. In 2021, our fall competition was conducted in collaboration with NATO-ACT, and addressed issues of disinformation and cybersecurity. This year, we had the distinct privilege of partnering with NATO Headquarters to host a disinformation-based case competition with seven unique topics.
