The lack of profound public understanding of the security issues has led to the set-up of the Superior College for National Security, the forerunner of National Intelligence College. Its mission is to build an interface between the Academy and the civil society, and to provide general and specific security and intelligence knowledge.
In the wake of 9/11 terror attacks, the paradigm of national security protection needed to be reshaped. ANI opens the master’s program Management of Intelligence Activity for National Security.
La 11 septembrie 2001 sunt doborâte turnurile gemene din New York și apare necesitatea regândirii paradigmei de protecție a securității naționale. ANI înființează programul masteral Managementul activității de informații pentru siguranța națională.
INI reform gave birth to ANI which has proven its viability over time. Within ANI, the Faculty of Intelligence was founded with its specializations, i.e. psychology – intelligence and communication and public relations -intelligence.
The journal publishes articles of the professors and students of INI, initially in the psychology and media fields, and afterwards in areas such as intelligence, European security or asymmetric threats.
As an expression of the need to permanently adapt to the security challenges, as well as to the dynamic academic climate, ISI becomes INI and a new field of study is introduced into the curriculum of would-be intelligence officers: communication sciences.
The renowned sociologist held the rector position from 1994 to 1999 and the level of applicability of previously gained knowledge increased during his mandate, being efficiently adapted to the challenges facing Romanian society of that time.
The early years of the Superior Institute for Intelligence were characterized mainly by a radical reform of the national academic climate. In that period ISI was relocated to the former CEPECA headquarters, the current premises of MVNIA. It thus began an investment stage in developing projects for the education infrastructure and academic facilities.
In 1992 ISI was founded as the first freestanding education entity with competence in training intelligence officers for SRI and for other partner bodies in the national system of public order and national security.
