European Security and Defence College (ESDC)
Since 2003, the European Union has played a central role in crisis management through its Common Security and Defence Policy and has proved its readiness to respond effectively and in timely fashion to emerging challenges through its missions and operations.
The ESDC provides EU institutions and Member States with strategic training and education in the field of the Common Security and Defence Policy. This contributes to the development of human resources and the creation of a pool of crisis managers in order to build a European security culture.
Established in 2005, it is now a network of about 140 civilian and military institutes, colleges, academies, universities, institutions and other actors dealing with security and defence issues in the EU.
Cultural Property Protection Course
The "Cultural Property Protection Course" was developed and piloted in 2022 by the Center for Cultural Property Protection in cooperation with the National Defence Academy and the Amt für Kultur of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The curriculum is composed of e-learning and on-site training.
Following official approval, the curriculum was integrated into the ESDC training programme and has since been conducted by international network partner organisations under the auspices of the ESDC.
The "Cultural Property Protection Course" aims to raise awareness of the need for cultural property protection in EU activities and to highlight various activities and efforts in this area.
The course offers an integrated approach to the protection of cultural property in crisis situations and provides best practices. Participants will identify and analyse challenges and develop tools to address them. Additionally, a network of professionals in the field of cultural property protection will be established.
Effective crisis management requires a combination of adequate capabilities and well-trained personnel.
