Major emergencies such as plane and train crashes are critical incidents which are typically complex, initially chaotic and often challenging to manage. These incidents require a team-based approach in which the activities and efforts of those officers involved are effectively co-coordinated and properly directed. Good communication, effective use of resources and information and a clear comman...d policy are essential if the many problems arising from such incidents are to be identified, prioritized and resolved.
The training of officers to develop these command skills requires a learning environment where the complexity, chaos and challenge of a real incident are recreated. This is where simulation is so effective as a training tool. Both programs that are currently in use, the XVR and ISEE simulation systems, have been designed and built from the ground up to create live critical incidents, thereby allowing command officers to practice their skills, to solve command problems and to confront and overcome the many challenges of such events.
At EASS we believe that innovation is a foundation of learning. We value corporate culture where digital learning experts and professionals merge their competencies to design and develop modern learning environments and exercising possibilities. We help to transform information to experience. We develop and use different set of digital technologies to strengthen the management of resource-intensive tasks, crisis management and tactical and strategic management into one service while covering all internal security services With the use of an interactive 3D environment, its interfaces and logistics, it is possible to create bigger immersion for students to engage with authentic problem based situations. The given environment enables to roleplay through the whole chain of crisis management, should it be an event of an environmental catastrophe, road accident, sudden attack, riot or any other incident posing a threat either to people’s lives or property.
Until now preparation for challenges like that have been very expensive and time-consuming, but digitally simulated study situations help to save time and increase the quality of the training at the same time. We also deal with different education technology developments to support our lecturers and trainers with new solutions. The selection ranges from full digital e-learning support of all EASS study programs up to specific areas like geoinformatics, augmented reality, UAV and robotic solutions. The EASS constantly cooperates with state agencies and services, such international agencies as CEPOL and FRONTEX.
International cooperation enables us to exchange experience and best practices effectively when designing trainings, developing methodologies and evaluating trainings. Significant projects: GeoSka (geoinformatics for trainers), Fast and Efficient Asylum Procedure, TARGET (Training Augmented Reality Generalised Environment Toolkit, Horizon 2020), Roborder (development and demonstration of a fully-functional autonomous border surveillance system, Horizon 2020), Driver + (Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience, Horizon 2020).
You are welcome to the only institution of higher education teaching speciality courses of internal security in a little country called Estonia – the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences! We are the only institution preparing experts for the institutions of internal security on three levels – master’s level, higher professional education level and vocational education level. Future police officers, border guards, rescuers and prison, tax and customs officials receive excellent preparation from our academy.
We value cooperation with both national and international partners. In the framework of cooperation, we have developed the current curricula of the EASS, and are ready to cooperate both as learners and as teachers. Our students, lecturers and employees often visit our partner institutions of higher education abroad in order to acquire new knowledge and skills. We kindly welcome everyone to visit us, too, since we have many things we are proud to present and introduce.
Many of you are aware that high-level e-services and technologies and their fast development are seen as the strengths of Estonia. Younger generation also knows that Estonia is the birthplace of Skype, and that one of the latest and most popular services is e-residency. In the EASS, we similarly pay a lot of attention to the development of learning methodologies. Innovative approaches and modern learning environment with contemporary devices and means of instruction are prerequisites for being a credible partner in international projects ant joint curricula.
We are proud of our frequent and long-lasting cooperation with international security organisations. In cooperation with other countries, we can establish ground for more efficient security in the whole world, the development of strategies, the conducting of studies, the establishing of values, the achievement of aims and for the joint new knowledge. In the future, we can thus together create the best international system of internal security.
We are very ambitious, as many small countries are. Every day we work towards making the EASS an equal partner to our cooperation partners – the institutions of higher education in the area of internal security in Europe. Our vision is supported by the state’s strong efforts made when ensuring the security of people, which in some parts presupposes international experience and cooperation in order to make it better and more efficient than before.
We are open to cooperation and waiting for you to come and see the opportunities the EASS offers – always in the name of better cooperation and internal security.
