Forensic students visit CEPOL

On 12 May 2015, CEPOL welcomed a students’ delegation from the Enschede Saxion University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands. The delegation was part of SV. IDent, a students’ association bringing together students from the forensics and crime sciences. The visit was organised in the framework of the university’s annual tours to foreign countries. This initiative aims at extending students’ known information into unknown regions and outside the academic field.

Students could familiarise themselves with CEPOL’s field of work and with the EU’s strategy and priorities in the field of Justice and Home Affairs. Besides, students experienced first-hand CEPOL’s training portfolio and participated to a live webinar led by CEPOL’s e-Learning team.

Delighted by the student’s visit, Dr. Ferenc Bánfi, CEPOL director, stressed out that youth are the EU’s future. He reminded that “investing in education and training is a necessity for the EU. While the seeds are being sowed and the fruits can already be enjoyed, we must not forget this is a long term investment that requires vision and courage”.
