On November 7, Estonian Academy of Security Sciences internal security institute started training on "Hybrid threats and models of their appearance" as part of the Erasmus+ funded project HYBRIDC. The training took place in a hybrid form with a total of 130 participants.

It  covered topics that dealt in depth with global and EU developments concerning hybrid threats in a world that has changed drastically over the past year, where Russia's hybrid aggression against Ukraine, Europe and the USA continues.

Estonian Academy of Security Sciences (EASS) in cooperation with Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) Lithuania and Police Academy of the Ministry of the Interior of Croatia submitted Erasmus+ application for the development of an international Master level Curriculum on Tackling Hybrid Threats. Project HYBRIDC is a 3 years project that starts with the general training on hybrid threats and the models of their appearance in Autumn 2022.  

At the beginning of the year, the Internal Security Institute submitted an Erasmus+ project application in the area of higher education cooperation. The aim was to get funding for the Master’s Curriculum specialising in fighting international hybrid threats. In July 2022, we received a positive response from the European Commission.

The 3-year joint international project will focus on developing and enhancing the cooperation primarily between higher education researchers and lecturers but also between EU institutions.
