Maldita joins 23 organizations from 16 European countries in pan-European project to study hybrid threats

Maldita.es, the Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC) and the Local Police of Valencia are the only three Spanish organizations that are part of this project, which coordinates 18 investigations, 14 of which are funded by the European Commission.

Within these investigations, Maldita.es is specifically in charge of training activities related to disinformation for the member organizations of the consortium, as well as supporting the Rey Juan Carlos University in its investigations.

The objective of this research is to develop new tools to improve the resilience of society through four main areas: future trends of hybrid threats, cyber and future technologies, civil resilience at the local level and national administration, and strategic information and communication.
