Ten years ago we started discussion around Europe to develop a tool to create a link between the worlds of students, pedagogues and expert public within the frame of the EU in fields of security. This article describes process of solving the project approved by The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) in period from 10/2009 until 10/2012. The idea of the eSEC project originated from the social requirement to increase the quality of education in the field of Security. The fault of the current educational systems is common detachment of the taught theory form the real practical requirements. That is the reason why it is necessary to focus more on the way in which the participants of education process can be prepared for the challenges which emerges from the labor market, which competencies are required and how it would be possible to link the educational systems of various institutions most efficiently. Therefore, the aim of our project eSEC is to develop and increase the competencies of students, pedagogues and research personnel working in the field of security, but even the expert public within the EU and the world. To achieve these objectives, an electronic portal eSEC was established and developed. The solutions of security problems and crisis situations are accompanied by many specific traits. Some of them are typical for all crisis situations, some of them denote the one singular form of crisis only. One common trait of crisis situations is shortage of time and information which places high demands on managers and decision-makers. Contemporary opinions about the solution of crisis situation concur that those crises produce new dimensions in the organization scene. Demands for people readiness at particular positions and for decision-making process are rising. Therefore the demands on crisis and security managers are rising too, proportionally with the complication of the situation. Within this paper we conclude the last ten years with results and case study of the functioning eSEC portal. Also we open the question of acquiring of special competencies in field of security.
