EISS launches major initiative to network European Security Studies

Thanks to the generous support of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) organisation, EISS — together with a dozen institutions throughout Europe — launches “Networking European Security Knowledge” (NetSec), a four-year programme to address the fragmentation of the continent’s intellectual and analytical base in the field of security studies.

Dr Hugo Meijer, Founding Director of EISS, and Dr Marie Robin, EISS Treasurer, serve as NetSec Action Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively.

“The launch of NetSec is a huge step in the development of EISS and its partners. Watch out for policy workshops, summer schools and conferences in the next four years.” — Dr Hugo Meijer, NetSec Action Chair and Founding Director of EISS
