On 19 October 2017, the JALLC received a delegation from the Portuguese Military University Institute, headed by the Institute’s Commander, Vice Admiral Bastos Ribeiro. The objective of this visit was to discover the Portuguese Military University and the JALLC might be able to engage in areas of common interest which would be mutually beneficial to both organizations. Among other themes, representatives of both organizations discussed the spread of the Lessons Learned culture among the Allies; the NATO Lessons Learned Portal; JALLC Training and Outreach opportunities; and the NATO's Lessons Learned Conference 2018.

The visit was very profitable and Portuguese Military University Institute demonstrated interest in cooperating with the JALLC in several areas of activity.
