European Union Training Initiative officially starting!

European Union Training Initiative officially starting!

6. 5. 2025 | EUTI, PR

It is with great pride that we announce the start of the European Union Training Initiative (EUTI) project!

The Centre for European Perspective (CEP) is proud to announce the official launch of the European Union Training Initiative (EUTI). This flagship EU-funded project will strengthen the capacity and readiness of civilian, police, and gendarmerie experts deployed to international crisis management and peace support missions.

Why now?

At a time when the EU is scaling up its civilian crisis management ambitions — from rapid deployment of experts to complex missions, to strengthening resilience in conflict-affected societies — EUTI steps in to support the next big leap toward a more harmonised, agile, and impact-driven training architecture. The challenges have evolved – hybrid threats, human and climate security, gender mainstreaming, cultural heritage protection, AI – and so must we. Providing tailor-made, fast and interoperable training is a must.

Building on over 15 years of experience and the legacy of previous EU-funded (civilian) crisis management training projects (EUCTI, EUPCST, ENTRi), EUTI brings together a unique consortium of 14 institutions from across Europe – civilian, police and gendarmerie. Together, we aim to improve the quality, standardisation, and delivery of pre-mission and in-mission training for deployed experts, ensuring they are equipped to respond effectively to complex challenges in conflict-affected regions.

EUTI’s guiding principles:
  • Provide needs-based, demand-driven and tailor-made specialised pre-mission and in-mission training for personnel deployed to international crisis management missions.
  • Enhance the harmonisation of EU training standards in line with the 2024 EU Policy on CSDP Training.
  • Support the certification and quality assurance of training activities in cooperation with the European Security and Defence College (ESDC).
  • Serve as an innovation hub, addressing new challenges such as hybrid threats, the climate-security nexus, and cultural heritage protection.
EUTI’s target groups include:
  • Civilian, police, and gendarmerie experts, deployed or soon-to-be-deployed to international missions,
  • International civilian crisis management and peace support missions,
  • EU institutions, EU Member States and seconding institutions,
  • International organisations.

The project will run from April 2025 to April 2028, with CEP as the Secretariat and project coordinator.

Follow us on our social media channels and join our journey to equip EU and other international civilian crisis management missions with professionals with state-of-the-art knowledge. Or contact us at [email protected] – we’ll be happy to tell you more.

PLATFORM LAUNCH: Slovenia Connects – Rebuild Ukraine

PLATFORM LAUNCH: Slovenia Connects – Rebuild Ukraine

14. 4. 2025 | PR, Regional cooperation, Slovenian Development Assistance, U-LEAD: with Europe, Ukraine

We are launching new communication channels for our programme Recovery and Reconstruction in Ukraine: Slovenia Connects – Rebuild Ukraine!

In 2025, we launched an expanded programme Recovery and Reconstruction in Ukraine, a programme that significantly contributes to the processes of recovery, reconstruction and development in Ukraine by providing Slovenian know-how and exchange of good practices. The programme builds on CEP’s longstanding work in local reconstruction and development in Ukraine. It aims to enable sustainable development and stimulate economic growth in Ukraine by addressing key aspects of local and regional reconstruction and development: environment, energy, education, housing, rehabilitation and digitalisation, and empowering local business and entrepreneurship. 

In this new programme phase, CEP will focus on maintaining existing inter-municipal partnerships, spreading its network, and contributing its expertise to the Ukrainian EU integration process. Furthermore, it will strive to connect Slovenian and Ukrainian business stakeholders, respond to emerging needs in local development through pilot initiatives and offer a coordination platform to explore possibilities for further cooperation between relevant partners.

One of the ways to access these partners and provide the most up-to-date information for our stakeholders is through social media. This is why the programme Recovery and Reconstruction in Ukraine launched new communication channels under the common slogan Slovenia Connects – Rebuild Ukraine, providing a platform to share programme activities, events, initiatives and much more.
