Since its inception in 2007, ISOMA, formerly known as ISoDoMA (International Symposium on the Development of Military Academies), has always acted as a sophisticated platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, innovations, and best practices by military experts who are leaders in their fields. This biennial forum is attended by military and civilian staff from military academies.
