Focusing on the intersection of research and practice, the second annual research conference on psychological defence was held in Lund on 24-25 September 2024.
The conference gathered 60 participants from the Nordic countries, with the majority of attendees from the Swedish public and private sectors as well as academia. In addition to consolidating networks of actors engaged in psychological defence and in line with the interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral aspects of the subject area, the conference aimed to bolster the much-needed bridge between research and practice. A broad range of topics were covered, including ongoing research projects, how training and education can enhance societal resilience, and challenges and opportunities within the intelligence community.
