General

The European Centre of Excellence for Civilian Crisis Management e.V. (CoE) is a non-profit private association under German law. Our aim is to strengthen civilian capacities in the framework of European Civilian Crisis Management by providing services to member states and to European institutions, in particular to the European External Action Service (EEAS).

Data Transmission

Data is transmitted to the CoE using an SSL-encrypted connection, which makes it significantly more difficult for unauthorised persons to intercept it.
