The scientific team led by Monika Brusenbauch Meislová has been awarded a major grant under the Jan Amos Komenský Operational Programme, ranking first in the evaluation.
The four-year project, INTERFER (Foreign Interference of Foreign Powers in the Context of Contemporary Geopolitical and Technological Change), which scored 147 points and ranked first out of 150 evaluated proposals, will establish a unique inter-institutional platform for excellence-oriented research on foreign interference in the context of contemporary geopolitical and technological changes. The project is coordinated by Charles University, with Assoc. Prof. Michal Smetana as the expert manager and project coordinator. Alongside Masaryk University, the Institute of International Relations and the University of Ostrava are also project partners.
The team from the International Institute of Political Science (IIPS) will contribute to one of the four work packages, led by Assoc. Prof. Monika Brusenbauch Meislová, focusing on how states internally adapt to the dynamically evolving threat of foreign interference and build social resilience against it. The outcomes will include articles in high-impact scientific journals, expert workshops, roundtables, policy papers with practical applications, foreign mobility opportunities, and follow-up grant applications.
In addition to Monika, the IIPS team includes Prof. Petr Kaniok, Dr. Zinaida Bechná, two PhD students, and a foreign expert to be selected through an international recruitment process.
