Webinar. Learning the Hard Way: How Training Helps You Avoid Mistakes in Field Missions

Practical analysis, decision-making, and uncertainty management This ICEUR School webinar focuses on the most common mistakes made in international, humanitarian, and monitoring missions operating in crisis and post-conflict environments. Drawing on real-life field experience from Afghanistan, Mali, Georgia, Kosovo, and other high-risk regions, seasoned experts from EU, UN, and OSCE missions explain why well-designed mandates often fail in practice — and how proper preparation can significantly reduce those risks. Key topics covered in the webinar include: • structural weaknesses of mission mandates and strategies; • the gap between headquarters planning and realities on the ground; • decision-making under uncertainty and severe time pressure; • reporting failures and the problem of “wishful thinking” in mission analysis; • the importance of local knowledge, cultural context, and gender dynamics; • practical analytical tools for working with incomplete and unreliable information. This webinar is relevant for: • professionals working in international organizations and NGOs, • analysts and researchers, • humanitarian and human rights practitioners, • diplomats and foreign service personnel, • students and early-career professionals preparing for international fieldwork. 📌 The content is based on real mission experience and participant feedback from previous ICEUR programs. 🎓 New ICEUR Course: Mission Ready: Critical Skills for International Work in Crisis Environments Starts January 7, 2026 10 online sessions - Certificate Taught by seasoned field experts (UN, OSCE) Access to GeNIe 5.0 forecasting software Affordable High-Impact training Building on the themes of this webinar, ICEUR is launching a hands-on professional course designed for those working — or planning to work — in unstable and high-risk environments.
