Egmont – The Royal Institute for International Relations is an active member of the European Union Training Initiative (EUTI). The EUTI supports the commitments outlined in the Civilian CSDP Compact and the 2024 Policy on CSDP Training, recognising continuous training of mission personnel as a key prerequisite for the successful completion of mission mandates.
The EUTI initiative aims to strengthen the European Union’s capacity to respond to global challenges by providing specialised, demand-driven, and tailor-made training to civilian, police, and gendarmerie experts already deployed or soon to be deployed to international crisis management and peace support missions. It focuses on three main pillars: addressing training needs, advising on training harmonisation, standardisation and certification, and introducing innovative training methodologies and strategies to meet emerging challenges.
In essence, EUTI aims to equip civilian experts with the skills necessary to successfully navigate their deployments to complex operational environments, thereby ensuring the EU’s role as a proactive global peace and security actor.
