The Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC)

The Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC) was inaugurated following the Ministerial Meeting of the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC) in Sintra, Portugal, on 30th May 1997. The EAPC is a new cooperative mechanism which replaces the NACC and builds upon the successful political and military cooperation established under the NACC and Partnership for Peace. It provides the overarching framework for political and security-related consultations.

The member countries of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council are the 19 member countries of NATO, plus the 25 former NACC and/or Partnership for Peace countries, and may be found listed below. As noted, certain of the Partner countries are not eligible for funding under the NATO Science Programme.
