Abstract
École Universitaire Internationale’s Research and Higher Education Institute in Peace and Security studies (based in Rome, Italy), provides programs mainly in the fields of Operational Intelligence, Hostage Negotiation, Psychological Operations, and Operational Counterterrorism.
All of the Institute’s programs have two types of audiences: students and practitioners. Practitioners attending the Institute include police, military, and intelligence officials. A wide range of students come to the Institute from diverse backgrounds, which pose the same challenges of any large university setting.
