Join the HCSS Datalab for an online webinar introducing GINA 2.0, the next generation of the Geopolitical Interactive Network Analysis suite
- Date: February 17, 2026
- Time: 15.00 – 16.30 CET
- Location: Microsoft Teams (link will be provided a few days before the event)
As geopolitical competition intensifies and interdependencies become more complex, policy-makers and analysts require tools that go beyond static indicators and siloed datasets. GINA 2.0 represents a major step forward in data-driven geopolitical analysis, offering a unified and methodologically consistent framework to analyse diplomatic, economic, military, and informational interactions across states.
Building on the GINA series first introduced in late 2024, GINA 2.0 features:
- Strengthened analytical methods based on network science
- Expanded data coverage updated through 2024
- Improved accessibility and usability across dashboards
- Harmonised analytical frameworks to support comparative and longitudinal analysis
During this webinar, the HCSS Datalab team will present the vision behind GINA 2.0 and demonstrate how its dashboards can be used to support policy-relevant geopolitical analysis.
