Welcome to the Intelligence College in Europe

The Intelligence College in Europe (ICE) was launched in Paris on March 5, 2019. At that time, it brought together 24 member countries and 7 partner countries, having signed a Letter of Intent on February 26, 2020, in Zagreb. Since then, it has evolved to include 28 member countries and 3 partner countries.

The College is a collective endeavour of European intelligence communities. It generates professional and academic views on a wide range of intelligence-related topics and disseminates those in order to contribute to the development of a strategic intelligence culture in Europe, without being prescriptive.

The ICE is a unique intergovernmental initiative enhancing European security.
