The 3rd seminar on Transition of the Military Education Systems in South East Europe was held at the RACVIAC – Centre for Security Cooperation March 3rd and 4th, 2016. The event was organized in cooperation with the Croatian Defence Academy. Its main purpose was to address the different aspects of the evolving process of military professionalization and its impact on civil-military relations in the past, present and future. One of the major topics of the 2016 seminar was the process of modernization of the military education process and particularly the introduction of distance learning solutions or “e-learning” and the Erasmus Programme.
The activity aims to provide an overview of the transition processes in the SEE in view of the transformation of compulsory into all-volunteer Armed Forces during the last two decades, its impacts on military educational systems and to enable the exchange of experiences and practices regarding the legal aspects of integrating military education systems into the national educational systems in the SEE region.
