EN This paper presents the results of prior studies and new survey research on curriculum content and approaches for mid-career officers. The research was conducted for the International Society of Military Sciences (ISMS), which provides research-based support to defence universities in small democratic countries. Prior studies have described patterns of western professional military education (PME) and common themes in mid-career and senior officer education. A survey asked experts from ISMS and the NATO Conference of Commandants to rate the importance of 22 novel subject areas on a Likert scale and to comment on the selection criteria for new materials to support teaching in professional military education. Thirty four respondents to the questionnaire included senior leaders in PME, serving military officers, researchers, graduate students, and faculty. The subjects of greatest interest for future PME were: Artificial intelligence and robotics; resilience of leadership; defining and conceptualizing war; and designing strategies for small countries. When military educators are looking for materials for higher PME, the most important criteria are that books and articles should challenge current thinking or report new research. The study demonstrates that there is a demand in defence universities and staff colleges for new thinking in response to the changing nature of war. As in other professions, military science relies on a professional and scholarly ecosystem to generate new knowledge.
