From 18-19 March CEPOL welcomed its CEPOL National Units for the 19th meeting of the network, chaired by Mr Floris Nikandrou (CNU Cyprus). Discussions focused on the agency’s current activities and future plans, while CNUs had the opportunity to express their views, share concerns and find common solutions to help them in their daily work. Among the topics on the agenda were EU training priorities, in view of the upcoming publication of the EU Strategic Training Needs Assessment 2026-2029, and a consultation on addressing emerging training needs. CNUs were also informed about the latest developments in CEPOL’s capacity building projects, discussed future improvements of the agency’s training portfolio, and participated in a workshop dedicated to mapping EU law enforcement training and education.
Ahead of the CNU meeting, the 18th National LEEd Managers’ meeting took place at the agency’s headquarters in Budapest. Participants reviewed user management and recent platform enhancements, including strengthening safety and security, and took part in a hands-on workshop on the latest updates. The session enabled targeted exchanges and helped identify priorities for future developments in the platform.
