Getting the most out of…Military Balance+

Getting the most out of…Military Balance+ Online

The Military Balance + is the online defense database from The International Institute for Strategic Studies, that allows researchers and users to plan, analyse and enable delivery of policy and commercial objectives for the private sector, governments, armed forces and media. The database includes equipment data, defense budget data, defense procurement data, military deployment data and policy and capability analysis, and more.

This session will help you better understand what is available within the online database ‘Military Balance+’ and how it might add value to your work. While you might be familiar with some of the content & features within MB+, you are sure to learn more at this in-depth session. This is also a great opportunity to speak directly to people from The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) to ask questions and give your feedback. 

This session will be followed by an extra 30 minutes for any further questions if required.

You will leave this session with a good understanding of the resource and how it can benefit you.

Robert Hopgood, International Institute for Strategic Studies, Sales Manager
