The course is organised from 9 to 13 June 2025 in Maynooth University, Ireland.
About the Course
The course aims to deepen participants’ understanding of the nature of complex conflicts, and to provide them with the critical skills to effectively analyse conflict dynamics as well as identify and assess realistic responses. This course provides CFSP/CSDP personnel working in crisis response with the necessary conceptual frameworks and analytical skills to respond to such situations and to develop integrated approaches to conflict prevention and crisis management.
The course will be preceded by mandatory eLearning autonomous knowledge units, which will be available from 19 May – 8 June 2025 on the ESDC eLearning platform ILIAS. Course participants will have to complete the pre-course tasks before the residential phase of the course begins. All participants need to bring their personal computers to class to facilitate their access to the online learning platform during the week.
