Since the beginning of 2026, the ICE Academic Network has continued to expand and has welcomed new member countries and additional institutions from countries already represented in the Network.
We are pleased to welcome Switzerland as our 19 th Academic Network member. The Network has also been strengthened by the addition of the OSINT Centre of Excellence from Croatia and IRSEM from France. Austria has also significantly strengthened its academic presence within the Academic Network through the addition of the Austrian Center for Intelligence, Propaganda and
Security Studies (ACIPSS), Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz.
