The CoE seeks to contribute to the strengthening of cooperation between civilian CSDP and Justice and Home Affairs (JHA). To this end, it is conducting a series of three workshops. The second one took place on 6 December 2021.

On 30 November, CoE Members and preferred partners (EEAS and NATO IS) met virtually to discuss the CoE priorities and shape the work of the Centre for the coming months. CoE Director Volker Jacoby reported on the Centre’s activities in the 11 identified priorities over the last six months.

Today, the first mentoring programme for women in CSDP Missions was completed with a closing workshop that brought together mentors and mentees to reflect on their experiences during the seven-month pilot programme. 

The CoE team and Director Volker Jacoby warmly welcomed H.E. Mr. Ramūnas Misiulis, Ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania in Germany, to the Centre’s premises in Berlin.

The workshop provided a platform for EU Member States to exchange information and views on their respective national approaches to optimise setups for the secondment of personnel outside the public service to civilian CSDP missions.

The European Centre of Excellence for Civilian Crisis Management is celebrating the first anniversary of its official opening in Berlin one year ago today, on 17 September 2020!

The CoE team and Director Volker Jacoby warmly welcomed the Ambassador to the Berlin office space and gave her an overview of the Centre's work and priorities.

Making civilian CSDP more joined up is one of the core aims of the commitments set in the Civilian CSDP Compact to strengthen European civilian crisis management. The workshop brought together a broad range of stakeholders, from all sides of the triangle, to exchange views with a specific focus on boosting cooperation between civilian CSDP and JHA actors at the national level.

The workshop took place on 4 June 2021 and brought together 47 particpants from 19 EU Member States which engaged in inspiring discussions around their frameworks of secondment for civilian CSDP missions.
