The European Safe Community Network (ESCON)
A network was established for the EU-member states and the Eastern/Central European countries. During the first meeting in Falköping, Sweden 1997, a Steering Committee for the further development was established. A report from the meeting is available (KI Red Report 368).
A network meeting was organized 1997 by Karolinska Institutet and the Falköping Municipality in Sweden to promote the establishment of the European Safe Community Network/ESCON. National and local representatives of 21 countries have accepted the working documents of the Network, elected a Steering Committee and a Secretariat.
