The 3rd Civil Protection Forum organized last year on 25.-26. November was a success. Euler, among other exhibitors, received a huge amount of attention in the exhibition. Below is the official statement from organizers to exhibitors:

Dear Exhibitors,
Thank you very much for participating in the Civil Protection Forum. You contributed to making this event a huge success. With over 800 visitors, 48 speakers and 52 exhibitors, this has been the largest Civil Protection Forum to date.

The exhibition was very popular and the three sections - training centres, international partners and innovative technology - attracted a good mix of participants and reflected the variety of ongoing initiatives in civil protection.

Recordings of all the conference sessions are accessible through our website www.civilprotectionforum.eu.

Best regards,
The Civil Protection Forum team
