Over the last two days (3 and 4 March 2026), the EUTI (European Union Training Initiative) consortium held its partner meeting at Jable Castle in Slovenia. The event brought together 32 representatives from 14 partner organizations to map out the best possible path forward for the project.
The primary goal of the gathering was to ensure the consortium can fulfill its mission as effectively as possible: equipping civilian experts with the skills to navigate complex environments and strengthening the EU’s role as a proactive leader in global peace and security.
The meeting served as a vital space for Europe’s top training institutions to pool their knowledge. Key discussions focused on analyzing the current training requirements of civilian missions on the ground, exploring the benefits of new technologies and how to effectively integrate AI into the training sector as well as reaffirming that specialized training is not just a “bonus” for mission members, but a fundamental requirement for the success and safety of international missions.
The EUTI consortium is walking away with a clear roadmap of ideas that will be implemented throughout the next phases of the project, ensuring we continue to deliver high-quality, standardized training across Europe.
