In focus: Information is power.
Awareness of information manipulation and hybrid warfare gives the power to cope in an information space that is rapidly changing and in constant state of uncertainty.
Though Estonia is not in kinetic war, it is undeniably under sustained assault—through cyberattacks, critical infrastructure sabotage, and pervasive disinformation.
In the modern security landscape, hybrid warfare—where information manipulation rivals kinetic force in impact—has become a formidable threat to democratic societies.
The arrival of Ukrainian war refugees in Estonia in 2022 revealed critical shortcomings in crisis communication infrastructure.
In times of crisis, miscommunication can be fatal. Authors demonstrate that failures in risk and emergency communication—whether due to language barriers, digital exclusion, or the spread of disinformation—can amplify social vulnerability and obstruct life-saving responses.
The future of Estonia’s electricity system is fraught with strategic dilemmas and risk-laden uncertainties.
Russian hybrid attacks have become a common occurrence across Europe.
In the Russian Federation’s strategic communication, history is far more than a neutral record of past events—it is a potent political tool.
In an age where technological innovation and social media evolve faster than regulation can follow, the European Union has undertaken an ambitious effort to rein in online disinformation, manipulation, and chaos.
In our era of boundless information, distinguishing truth from manipulation is an essential modern competence.
In an era of escalating information disorder, building societal informational resilience—the capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from the harmful effects of disinformation—is paramount to safeguarding democracy.
As Estonia approaches the 2025 local elections, disinformation emerges not merely as a nuisance but a calculated threat to democratic resilience.
Between 2020 and 2025, Russia’s strategic influence operations in Estonia have reflected a wider geopolitical contest between authoritarian assertiveness and liberal democracies.
In an era saturated with misinformation and cognitive overload, science communication must undergo a paradigm shift.
As societies age, fostering environments that support active ageing becomes an imperative of both policy and design.
As digital lending becomes ubiquitous, consumer credit agreements reveal troubling legal asymmetries. Authors highlight two pressing challenges: fraud via electronic identity (eID) misuse and opaque, automated credit scoring.
Language barriers in healthcare compromise patient safety, exhaust medical personnel, and impose substantial costs on the state.
Effective learning is driven by sound strategies, intrinsic motivation, and a growth mindset.
In a fragmented media landscape, trust in public broadcasting has become a vital indicator of democratic resilience. Mare Ainsaar’s quantitative analysis reveals a strong correlation between trust in Estonian Public Broadcaster (ERR) and confidence in the Estonian government, particularly among ethnic minorities.
The 50-issue corpus of Riigikogu Toimetised, Estonia’s parliamentary journal, offers a rich dataset for computational text analysis. Leveraging data science methods, Nemvalts and Allandi reveal how linguistic patterns, word frequencies, and thematic structures chart the evolution of Estonian political discourse over two decades.
In an era of fiscal austerity and geopolitical flux, Estonia’s research system stands at a pivotal crossroads.
