The e-CN website was established in response to a worldwide necessity of information and knowledge exchange in the field of civil protection training. It constitutes
a platform of contact for civil protection schools from around the world. This website is a base that allows the schools to communicate with one another in order to achieve
a common goal of increasing development of training and education systems

The idea of e-CN establishment was created during the IX International Conference of Directors of Civil Protection Schools. The Conference was held at the Main School of Fire Service in Warsaw on 15-17 November 2004.

Moreover, the website was assigned to reinforce EUROBALTIC Civil Protection
Project II / Eurobaltic II of the Baltic Sea Region INTERREG IIIB Neighbourhood Programme.
