Abstract:

This paper details the organization and conclusions of a table-top exercise which took place during a course organized under the aegis of the European Security and Defence College in February 2021. The article highlights the platform used for the exercise, the elements of the scenario and the results, stressing the importance of such exercises as a cornerstone of continuing advanced education for national and European decision makers, policy experts and specialists. Another key point is the extremely diverse group of participants, which took place, validating the idea of common training for the development of an emerging European security culture. Therefore, such training can become an added element of cooperation, especially on cyber issues, which permeated the exercise.
