Internship experience - Paulina Frederike Gogacz

Between March and June 2024, I had the opportunity to get to know the JCBRN Defence COE in Vyškov, Czech Republic, during my four months-long internship. The internship has been an enriching experience that has significantly impacted my professional development. The focus of my research was hybrid threats in the CBRN environment. Throughout my research, I had the constant support of my supervisor, Linda, as well as the expertise of the other staff at the centre who were always open to engage in conversations and answer questions about my topic and other issues related to CBRN defence. Furthermore, I was able to watch an exercise of first responders and participate in one of the courses, deepening my knowledge on the CBRN environment and NATO’s activities in countering weapons of mass destruction.

Internship experience - Mathias Katsuya

On the 20th of May 2024, I began a six-week internship at the Joint Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defence Centre of Excellence in Vyškov, the Czech Republic. Much of my work centred on an independent project investigating the potential for enhanced cooperation between NATO and the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) in countering the threat of CBRN terrorism. I conducted secondary-source and statistical analyses to produce a CBRN threat assessment, before building on this research through interviews with COE and Europol personnel to outline avenues for deepened NATO-Europol engagement. My final report is currently undergoing a pre-publication review within the COE, with the goal of disseminating its recommendations among NATO and Europol’s Counter Terrorism Centre.
