The Institute for National and International Security (INIS) is pleased to announce its expanding international cooperation and partnership with the Medical Intelligence International Group – MEDINT, an internationally recognized think tank dedicated to advancing Medical Intelligence, global security, strategic analysis, and interdisciplinary cooperation to address contemporary threats and crises.

This partnership represents another important step in strengthening INIS’s international position within the global academic and professional community engaged in Security Science, Intelligence Studies, Medical Intelligence, strategic forecasting, and hybrid threat analysis. The cooperation between INIS and MEDINT reflects the growing need for multidisciplinary approaches to modern security challenges, particularly in public health security, biosecurity, crisis management, intelligence analysis, and geopolitical risk assessment.

INIS is especially honored that several distinguished members of the INIS international network are actively engaged within the MEDINT Board and expert structures. Among them are Barbara Lucini, Jan Goldman, Darko Trifunović, Marco Lombardi, John M. Nomikos, and Vasyl Zaplatynskyi.

The presence of prominent INIS members within MEDINT also confirms the growing international recognition of the INIS network and its contribution to the development of Security Science as an autonomous, interdisciplinary academic field. Through such cooperation, INIS continues to connect leading experts from Europe, the Middle East, North America, and other regions, creating a platform for knowledge exchange, strategic dialogue, scientific collaboration, and the development of innovative approaches to emerging global security risks.

INIS is committed to expanding its international partnerships with respected academic institutions, think tanks, intelligence professionals, and security experts worldwide, and to promoting scientific excellence, strategic thinking, and interdisciplinary cooperation in Security Science and Intelligence Studies.

The Medical Intelligence International Think Tank based at the Department of Sociology, Catholic University of Sacred Heart, Milan (IT) aims to provide a structured and comprehensive examination of Medical Intelligence by defining it explicitly in terms of its methodologies, analytical tools, and relevant legislative frameworks. While acknowledging the absence of a universally fixed definition, the study adopts a flexible working definition that can be adapted to the specific context and objectives of the analysis. Such an approach allows Medical Intelligence to be examined as a dynamic and context-dependent discipline rather than a static conceptual category.

In this framework, the research seeks to establish and promote a clear understanding of the role and application of Medical Intelligence in support of national security, both at the domestic and international levels. Attention is given to its strategic relevance in anticipating, preventing, and managing health-related threats that may have security implications across borders.

Furthermore, the Medical Intelligence International Group conducts in-depth analyses and research on the use of Medical Intelligence through a multidisciplinary lens, integrating intelligence studies with technological, communicative, social, and medical perspectives. This pluralistic approach reflects the complexity of contemporary health-security challenges and underscores the necessity of cross-sectoral analysis.

Moreover, the Medical Intelligence International Group aims to promote methodological and operational expertise by identifying and evaluating the most appropriate tools for Medical Intelligence research and analysis. In doing so, it contributes to the development of robust analytical practices capable of supporting informed decision-making in the field of national and international security.
