We would like to inform you that EENA is considering having the 112 Awards Ceremony back in 2025, as part of our annual event (9-11 April 2025 in Helsinki). Since 2008, the 112 Awards Ceremony aims at rewarding citizens and public safety organisations that have done a small or big deed to help improve the safety and security of others. We want to acknowledge commitment, selflessness, and community service.
 
In this context, we encourage you to submit your application(s) using this online form by September 6, 2024.
