The Nordic-Baltic
Cognitive Security
Network
Investigating Cognitive Threats Through Collaboration
Building an ecosystem of cognitive security work for the whole region to learn from each other.
Copenhagen Business School and the Alexandra Institute invited key organisations from the Nordic Baltic region to establish a Nordic-Baltic Cognitive Security Network. The initiative’s overall mission is to defend the NB8 region’s liberal democracies by contributing to increasing its cognitive security and its ability to analyse, understand and react to cognitive threats.
To that end, we will also work to create more focus on the cognitive threats it is facing and their seriousness. And, of course, to deliver on our mission, we must work to secure funding for the knowledge development, the research, the ecosystem robustness, the analytic work, the work on disseminating and teaching, and of course, the work on turning the network into an ecosystem of cognitive security work where the whole region learn from each other.
The network will connect competence along two axes, the science/research–analysis axis (which to some extent is an axis between universities and military academies) and the STEM–SSHB axis, which means to bring together deep technological competence with equally deep technological social science, humanities and business competence.
