The HCSS Datalab presents: GINA Information 2.0
GINA Information is the fourth and final tool released from our Geopolitical Interactive Network Analysis (GINA) series. This tool captures both verbal and material cooperation and conflict events, allowing users to analyse geopolitical signalling based on news data and to explore the latent dynamics of cooperation and contestation that often precede measurable outcomes. It enables policy-makers, researchers, and analysts to examine how states communicate, coordinate, compete, and contest narratives through observable geopolitical events on a dyadic level.
New HCSS report stresses: Supporting Ukraine is supporting Europe
Europe must learn from Ukraine — and act fast, warns the latest HCSS report. Our 2025 visit to Kyiv shows how Ukraine’s forces adapt rapidly through AI-enabled drones, decentralized innovation, and civil-military collaboration — while European militaries lag behind. “Supporting Ukraine is not just solidarity; it is an investment in Europe’s own security,” says lead author Tim Sweijs. “Every delay risks leaving Europe exposed to threats that are already evolving on the battlefield.”
