Dear Colleagues,
The Hellenic Naval Academy under the auspices of the European Security and Defence College, in the framework of the European initiative for the exchange of young military officers, inspired by Erasmus, has the honour to organise a “Maritime Security” Common Module.
The module consists of an e-Learning part, as well as a residential session, that would be held in the Hellenic Naval Academy, from 23 to 27 April 2018, both parts being compulsory.
The Module is based on the EMILYO Maritime Security Standard Curriculum. Its aim is to introduce the participants in the contemporary maritime security environment, and to familiarize them with Maritime Security Concepts. The Module will also provide a general knowledge of the European Union Maritime Security Strategy, its history and development, its main principles along with the challenges of its implementation.
We would be pleased if you would accept this invitation and nominate suitable candidates for this training activity.
