Abstract:
Open‑Source Intelligence for European Security and Democracy (EUSOSINT) is a three‑year Jean Monnet Module that develops a structured 56‑hour annual course on OSINT titled "Open Source Intelligence for European Security and Democracy (OSINT – Digital investigations)" with a strong focus on EU security, democracy and information integrity. It equips Master’s students and young professionals with practical investigative skills and a solid understanding of EU legal and policy frameworks on fundamental rights, data protection, hybrid threats and disinformation. Through hands‑on projects, public presentations and cooperation with journalists, NGOs and public authorities, the Module strengthens EU‑related expertise in digital investigations and contributes to more resilient democratic debate at national and European level.
