European Security and Defence College (ESDC)
The ESDC is a network of civilian and military institutes, colleges, academies, universities, institutions and other actors dealing with security and defence policy issues within the EU.
The ESDC was established in 2005 to provide EU institutions and Member States with strategic-level education and training in the field of the Common Security and Defence Policy. The ESDC currently comprises around 140 training institutions with different expertise and backgrounds. Since its establishment, the ESDC has promoted the development of a European Security Culture through more than 500 training courses, seminars and conferences.
The ESDC awards its students a certificate which is recognised by all Member States and the EU institutions.
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 offered in courses conducted by international network partner organisations under the auspices of the ESDC.
Participation and registration
Each EU Member State has a number of national contact points or nominators who are responsible for registering selected candidates from that Member State for ESDC courses. If you are interested in attending the Cultural Property Protection Course, please ask your superior to contact your relevant national nominator via e-mail.
As part of the Certificate Program 'Cultural Property Protection and Disaster Response' and the Micro-Credential Program (stand-alone course) 'International Cultural Property Protection (ESDC)', the Center for Cultural Property Protection also offers a limited number of seats in the ESDC courses held at the University for Continuing Education Krems.
