This conference aims to advance the professionalization of intelligence education, with a special focus on developing and adapting intelligence competencies to address today’s complex geopolitical and security challenges. In an era defined by disinformation, technological innovation, and global change, intelligence competencies serve as a vital strategic axis for a holistic approach to these issues. The event adopts a whole-of-government and whole-of- society perspective, fostering collaboration between academic scholars and intelligence practitioners from government and the private sector. By promoting knowledge exchange and best practices, the conference seeks to build an integrative framework for tackling contemporary threats.
