Project Background
Novel technologies have presented practitioners with new opportunities to improve the intelligence process, but have also been exploited by actors like terrorists, creating new challenges and threats. Consequently, the timely identification of emerging technologies and analysis of their potential impact, not only on the intelligence community but also on terrorist or criminal organisations, is crucial.
However, time constraints can prevent intelligence practitioners from being updated on the most recent technologies. This can for instance delay efforts to adapt these technologies to the needs of the intelligence community, while also hindering the early definition of counter measures to respond to related changes in the threat landscape.
In order to address this challenge, NOTIONES, which is deriving its name from a Latin lemma referring to “being informed”, will establish a network to connect researchers and industries with the intelligence community. This network will facilitate exchange on new and emerging technologies but also equip solution providers with insights on the corresponding needs and requirements of practitioners. The so gained findings will be disseminated in periodic reports containing technologic roadmaps, priorities and recommendations for future research projects and development activities.
The NOTIONES network
Working groups
The working groups envisaged in NOTIONES represent the realization of an active and engaged working environment for practitioners and representatives of academy and industry, to discuss specific technology areas and related needs of the practitioners.
Workshops
The five workshops envisaged in NOTIONES are dedicated to the internal network of NOTIONES, to finalize and provide updates on the activities of the working groups. Selected external stakeholders whose experience and expertise are expected to provide a true added value to the discussion of the working groups will be invited as well.
Conferences
The five conferences envisaged in NOTIONES encase the expansion of the network to a wide number of other practitioners and representatives of industry and academy. The objectives of the conferences are the dissemination of the results and findings of NOTIONES and the enhancement of interaction with external stakeholders.
