EU MODEX moves with the times.

For safety reasons due to the pandemic, many of the 28 planned exercises have to be postponed.

The time freed up by the pandemic is being put to good use: The teams behind the planning are feverishly developing concepts to continuously improve the exercises in the future and continue the EU MODEX success story.

The length of a cycle was extended from two to three years. 
From now on there is the possibility that an exercise takes place in a third country. 

We look forward to meeting you again in person at one or the other exercise. Stay tuned!

The pandemic claims its toll.

A new exercise type using virtual reality for EUCPT team leaders is introduced. 

The number of exercises is again increased to 16. 
For the first time, an avalanche scenario with buried persons was planned. 

Sadly, some of the planned exercises had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, including the avalanche exercise.

European countries are at the beginning of a journey that will take joint civil protection to a new level. 

The sense of unity that emerges at this time grows steadily over the following years and helps to master the great challenges of European civil protection together as a highly motivated and professional community. 

This year, a total of 11 exercises were held in the areas of table-top exercise, water rescue, medical, urban search and rescue, and hazardous materials removal in Croatia, Germany and the Netherlands. The first exercise was a TTX on 16-20 October 2010 in Croatia.
