I had an online call with Mr. Vignesh Rajahmani (doctoral researcher at King’s India Institute, King’s College London, policy and political consultant) and Mr. Vihang Jumle (data engineer and a public policy student, Hertie School Berlin). Previously, I cooperated with both on a parliamentary briefing on 8th November on disinformation in India. Now, they wanted to follow up regarding any synergies we could explore together to better conceptualize how disinformation is shaping our societies, concretely they wanted to discuss any possible cooperation in tackling disinformation in relevance to the EU. I recommended getting involved in hearings of ING3 working programme, once - if - it is established.

S ohledem na mé zapojení do právě projednávané směrnice o kybernetické bezpečnosti EU institucí, jsem byla kontaktována společností Nemec+Chvatal se sídlem v Bruselu a jménem české společnosti S.ICZ (patřící do skupiny ICZ Group) s žádostí o schůzku. Společnost S.ICZ poskytuje komplexní hardwarové a softwarové služby v oblasti ochrany utajovaných informací, včetně vývoje a výroby bezpečnostních produktů, které mají nejvyšší certifikaci pro členské státy EU a instituce EU i NATO. Zástupci této firmy se se mnou chtěli setkat a prodiskutovat jejich pohled a řešení, které by mohli nabídnout i evropským institucím. Jejich nabídku jsem vyslechla a doporučila jim hovořit i s Marcelem Kolajou, žádné další kroky ale v této věci nebudu podnikat.
