Council of Europe

 Network of Specialized Euro-Mediterranean Centres

One of the main points of this Agreement is to have seeked to ensure a direct interest and participation of the member States by fostering the creation of European Centres.

These structures facilitate the concrete contribution to the common objectives of the various partners through implementation of European expertise and research, formation and information programs. Their specific role is thus to develop projects, both at the national and regional level, who aim to improve the awareness and resilience to major risks within the population.
