On 5 March, the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM) officially opened a ‘knowledge hub’ in Odesa, Ukraine. The hub is the first facility of its kind in Ukraine and will host training seminars and conferences for the Mission’s partners.
The EUAM knowledge hub will serve as a space to exchange ideas on reform, to build trust and to help to improve coordination for civil society, law enforcement and local authorities.
“I’m delighted to inaugurate the EUAM’s first knowledge hub in Odesa,” said Fredrik Wesslau, Deputy Head of the EUAM. “This is a testament to the progress we have seen in Odesa in areas such as public order, as well as the potential for future reforms”.
The knowledge hub started its work with a workshop on environmental crime scene management for the police of Odesa. It was delivered jointly by EUAM experts, the state environmental inspectorate of Ukraine in Odesa and representatives of civil society.
