In the period 1-5 July 2024, the CMDR COE conducted its residential iteration of the Cognitive Warfare Course. The course welcomed over 30 participants from 7 countries, thus broadening the community of experts who are actively engaged with dealing with fostering resilience to cognitive threats. A team of highly experienced instructors (from NATO HQ, ACT, Partnership for Peace Consortium, OSCE, Center for the Study of Democracy, Centre for Military History and Conflict Studies at the United Service Institution of India, GlobalFocus Center in Romania, Institute for ICT to the Bulgarian Academy of Science, Hybrid COE, Bulgarian Ministry of Defence, and the Information Center of the Bulgarian Ministry of Defence) provided the course group with a general historic overview of the development of the cognitive science and its manifestations, combined with a thorough analysis of the intricate nature of hybrid and irregular warfare, the growing importance of AI, and the complexity of the contemporary information environment.
Moreover, the course served as a venue for exchange of best practices and viewpoints on behalf of key public and private stakeholders linked with tackling disinformation and malign foreign influence by building resilience to cognitive threats.
