The CTIF Seminar day on Wednesday June 19 during DA Week 2024 will be mostly covering national topics, but might also touch on universal topics similar to the earlier CTIF seminars "Fire, Rescue and New Challenges"  which were held in Brussels 2018 and in Ostrava 2019. 

Yearly CTIF Webinars have also been held online since 2020. 

The seminar will be held in English language and will be Open for all Fire and Rescue Services.  

Streaming video from the Delegates Assembly on Thursday June 20th will be available for those not able to attend physically. Because of the voting process we can only offer attendance online  to those national representative eligible to vote.

"We are working hard to make this a great experience for delegates, commission members, and also our members here in Norway", says CTIF Norway chair Ole Hansen, who has much experience arranging national seminars within his own national committee. He was also a big part of arranging CTIF Delegates Assembly in Bergen, Norway, already in 2011.

Delegates Assembly is mostly for voting national representatives. For all others who are involved in CTIF´s commissions, working groups or other aspects of CTIF,  there will be a one day seminar on just a day before DA. All will be welcome to sign up for it, on similar terms as in Brussels and Ostrava - however,  some  of the seats will be reserved for Norwegian CTF member participants, so international registration will be somewhat limited.

 

Dear CTIF members,

Committee and Associated Members as well as the Executive Committee to participate in the
CTIF Delegates' Assembly 2024.
