The NDC has established strategic academic partnerships with some international think- tanks and strategic studies centers with the aim of promoting research work and facilitating the exchange of ideas and knowledge on issues of common interest. Such partnerships will also help the college to become a venue that allows free expression of ideas and opinions.

It was with this vision that the UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, established the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR), a premier institution of its kind in the Middle East, which has ever since set new benchmarks of excellence and expertise in the field of strategic studies and research.
