The course covered a wide range of topics, including the EU’s strategic environment, multi-dimensional threats against the EU, emerging technologies used in information warfare, and the EU’s integrated approach to situational awareness and resilience. It also addressed the response to and cooperation in countering Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference, identified key FIMI actors, and explored priority regions.
In addition, participants were introduced to a practitioners’ toolkit for managing the information security ecosystem. Numerous practical sessions were conducted, designed to build participants’ skills in detecting and responding to FIMI events. These hands-on sessions involved group work on a realistic, carefully developed scenario, allowing participants to put theory into practice. Following each session, experts from the National Intelligence Academy and the ESDC provided valuable feedback and recommendations.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the speakers for their invaluable contributions and exceptional presentations. We are also grateful to the 36 participants for their trust in the ESDC, and we remain committed to delivering high-quality training in the future.
