The application period for the next European Union Integrated Crisis Management (EU ICM) ends on 5 July 2019. The Finnish Defence Forces International Centre (FINCENT) and CMC Finland are organising the course together in Santahamina, Helsinki. The goal is to provide more extensive skills for people participating in EU Crisis Management Operations, so that they are even better prepared for operations. The students get more information on, for example, the EU’s common goals and policies. The course also enables pratical cooperation training between the different actors in crisis management operations. For more on the course, click here.
