Stay tuned to CTIF.org for the full length one hour lecture on this important topic.
Participants from 18 countries!
The CTIF seminar "Fire, Rescue & New Challenges", although in many ways arranged a bit "last minute", turned out to be a great success and was an appreciated renewed tradition within CTIF. Given that these types of seminars have not been arranged within the organization for a few years, it was with great satisfaction for the CTIF Executive Board and the Center of Expertise in Belgium (the latter which arranged the Seminar) to see so many enthusiastic participants from so many countries come to Brussels for the weekend.
The countries represented on the Seminar, aside from Belgium, were:
- The Netherlands
- Luxemburg
- Germany
- France
- Sweden
- Norway
- Denmark
- Iceland
- Slovenia
- Slovakia
- Czech Republic
- Ukraine
- Finland
- Croatia
- United Kingdom
- Austria
- Canada
