As part of the Common Core Curriculum for Safety Investigators (2025), conducted by the EMSA Training Academy, an in-person session took place between 22 and 25 September 2025 at the premises of the European Maritime Safety Agency.

The in-person session aimed to cover the last Learning Outcomes linked to the Operational Units of the curriculum. It focused on providing the participants with practical skills in interviewing witnesses, handling the media, and drafting reports. The Curriculum was open to participants from IPA/ENP Beneficiary Countries who had successfully completed 100% of the online part.

Seventeen (17) staff members of the Maritime Administrations of Algeria, Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco, Israel, Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine, Türkiye, and Serbia attended the in-person session, thus obtaining Certificates of Completion.
The in-person session was also attended by marine accident investigators from EU Member States (MSs), with the added value of contributing to the exchange of experience and best practices, as well as to the cooperation between EU MSs and the beneficiary countries.
