Universiteit Leiden en HCSS | Leergang Strategie en Weerbare Rechtsorde
In september 2026 start de Leergang Strategie en Weerbare Rechtsorde, een samenwerking tussen het Centre for Professional Learning van de Universiteit Leiden en HCSS. In dit programma komen academische inzichten en strategische praktijkkennis samen om deelnemers beter te laten begrijpen hoe digitale, criminele en statelijke dreigingen de Nederlandse rechtsorde beïnvloeden. Met aandacht voor data, foresight en scenariodenken leer je ontwikkelingen duiden en vertalen naar strategisch handelen. De leergang versterkt het vermogen om complexe veiligheidsvraagstukken in geopolitieke context te plaatsen en effectief op te treden binnen het veiligheidsdomein van morgen.
