Further Information The Research Cluster’s area of research aspires to become the leading research cluster in the field of intelligence and security research in the Mediterranean, building bridges across multiple disciplines, public and private stakeholders, as well as security practice and academic scholarship. Security challenges are multi-dimensional and crosscutting, ranging from the more ‘traditional’ forms—such as conflict and war, terrorism and organised crime—to ‘new’ or more ‘non-traditional’ forms—including gender violence, human smuggling, climate change, disinformation and hybrid warfare. The multi-dimensional nature of security and insecurity demands the multi-disciplinary perspective that INSIGHTS seek to provide. INSIGHTS wishes to build on its members’ current track record of internationally - acknowledged research embracing issues and partners on all continents. We believe that by harnessing the collective wisdom and real-world experiences of a diverse academic community covering an extensive span of subjects from artificial intelligence to intelligence studies, law, education, political science, international relations and gender studies we gain invaluable insights into the ever-changing threat landscape. This allows us to prioritise and address the most critical risks, to individuals, organisations and states alike, empowering actors to make informed decisions and optimise resource allocation.
