VIRTUE – Changing Landscapes in the European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice

The theme for the 14th of June is: Changing Landscapes in the European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice.

EUCTER – Terrorism in a Changing Landscape
What has changed in the current security landscape? How is terrorism evolving?
The II Virtual EUCTER conference aims to continue to explore the main challenges posed by terrorism at EU and International level. This conference seeks to explore how terrorism is adapting to a changing landscape and to map the current research at resilience, financing, radicalisation and gender level.
EUHYBRID – Hybrid Threats and Hybrid Warfare
What is hybrid warfare? What makes a threat hybrid?
This conference aims to debate the latest research on hybrid threats and hybrid warfare, and to examine the EU policy advances in this area. It aims to examine complexity, non-linearity and challenge some contested concepts, and to understand how memory and identity have been cornerstones of the latest development at the Eastern Neighbourhood. Considering the heightening, acceleration and rapid technological change, this conference aspires, as well, to foster the research-policy interface and examine how EU and NATO have been responding to the challenge of proxy wars, cyber-threats, cyber-intelligence, and cyber terrorism.
