European Union Military Academies Commandants’ Seminar (EUMACS) is an event held once a year, traditionally hosted by the member state that currently holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union. Every year, (Rector) Commandants and Commanders of the EU military academies and universities meet to discuss the current and future endeavours, the difficulties that may occur and share ideas. The seminar has a tremendous impact on the future shape of the cooperation between the EU military academies and universities under the European Initiative for the Exchange of Young Officers (EMILYO) programme in the frame of the European Security and Defence Policy.
The EMILYO programme is aimed to maintain and develop the cooperation between all military universities of the EU member states. The goal is to ensure the interoperability of military training and education, allowing young officers, as well as their lecturers and instructors, to exchange their knowledge, good practises and experience with each other.
Therefore, EUMACS is such an important event which enables to raise all the crucial aspects regarding the cooperation between EU military academies and universities.
This year, as the geopolitical situation in Europe and the world is very dynamic and can change significantly every day, maintaining the cooperation and interoperability between the military forces of the EU member states is crucial, and such events as EUMACS hold a great importance in ensuring that the European Union is safe, stable and develops. Poland, being a neighbour to the war-ridden Ukraine, during EUMACS 2025 will try to raise with all the EUMACS attendants significant issues in terms of security and defense policy aspects.
Therefore, the Military University of Technology in Warsaw and the Polish Air Force University in Dęblin are honoured to host this event in 2025.
