The purpose of this event is to bring together adequate representatives of the already established Capacity Building Centres for Emergency Preparedness and Response (CBCs-EPR), entities in the process of being established as CBCs-EPR, and entities interested in the CBC-EPR concept, to discuss

proposals and different viewpoints related to the following topics:

• Experience and feedback from the implementation of training events based on IAEA training materials;
• Assessment of capacity building needs in relevant emergency preparedness and response
• (EPR)-related fields, based on feedback from training and meetings held at existing CBCs-EPR;
• Identification of possible synergies among different CBCs-EPR; and
• Revision as appropriate of the CBC-EPR concept to better support the IAEA in addressing needs regarding EPR capacity building.
