Prof. Dr. Ian Goldman and Prof. Dr. Gordana Akrap participated in a Premier Global Intelligence Forum.

The Oxford Intelligence Conference 2025 once again brought together leading experts, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world to discuss emerging challenges in intelligence, security, and global strategic competition. This year, the Institute for National and International Security (INIS) was proudly represented by Prof. Dr. Ian Goldman, Senior Research Fellow of INIS, and Prof. Dr. Gordana Akrap, Member of the Editorial Board of the Security Science Journal and the organizer of the Zagreb Security Forum, where INIS is a partner.

Prof. Dr. Ian Goldman: Strategic Foresight and Intelligence Transformation

Prof. Goldman delivered an impactful and forward-looking contribution focused on the transformation of intelligence systems in the era of cognitive and hybrid warfare. He emphasized the need for agile, data-driven intelligence architectures capable of responding to rapidly evolving threats, including disinformation, emerging technologies, and geopolitical volatility. His analysis provided a sophisticated roadmap for integrating strategic foresight into national security planning—an approach fully aligned with the mission and scientific direction of INIS.

Prof. Dr. Gordana Akrap: Information Warfare, Media Manipulation, and Societal Resilience

Prof. Dr. Gordana Akrap, one of Europe’s leading experts on information warfare and crisis communication, addressed the accelerating impact of information manipulation, media ecosystems, and malign influence operations on democratic societies. Her presentation highlighted the strategic importance of cognitive resilience, societal preparedness, and the development of robust communication mechanisms to counter hostile narratives. Her long-standing expertise and research made a significant contribution to the conference’s high-level discussions.

Strengthening the INIS Global Presence

The participation of Prof. Goldman and Prof. Akrap at the Oxford Intelligence Conference 2025 underscores INIS’s growing international visibility and academic authority. Their contributions reflect the Institute’s commitment to promoting Security Science, advancing interdisciplinary research, and fostering global dialogue on the future of intelligence and security.

As INIS continues to expand its network across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, our involvement in leading global forums such as the Oxford Intelligence Conference remains essential for shaping contemporary security thought and connecting the world’s foremost experts.
