Lodz Cyber Hub is participating in this year's European Security and Defence College (ESDC) residential course on "Hybrid Threats and Intercultural Strategic Communication" (ESDC activity no. 25-26/280/1), co-organised with the Institut de Formation d'Intelligence Interculturelle (IFDII), Paris.
The four-day course brings together security practitioners, military officers, and civilian experts from across EU member states to examine the legal, strategic, and communicational dimensions of hybrid threats in 2026. Sessions address hybrid warfare doctrine, foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), intercultural strategic communication, and the human factor in cyberwarfare.
On Tuesday, 28 April, LCH Director dr Joanna Kulesza delivers the session "Cyber-attacks and the Geopolitics of Attribution" (9:00–10:30), examining how international law frames state responsibility for cyber operations and the political stakes of attribution decisions in the current geopolitical environment.
The University of Lodz has been a member of the ESDC expert network since 2022 — the only civilian academic institution from Poland in that community.
Course directed by Dr Claudine Korall (IFDII) and coordinated by Mr Giuseppe Zuffanti (ESDC).
