Germany’s 2026 Presidency of the College: Intelligence and Science
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.
