About
ENSEC is run on democratic principles and strives towards the inclusion of the representative interests of all European states. This does not necessarily mean that representatives from all European states form part of the Network, but existing ENSEC members will strive to represent the interests of the widest range of European states.
The activities of the Network are organised around a series of specific projects identified through a process of consultation amongst ENSEC members. The purpose of the Network is to complete these projects in accordance with the aims and objectives as have been agreed democratically by the Network members
ENSEC is not intended to be self perpetuating but rather a structure to facilitate the achievement of specific goals
