PSSI is continuing its project series "Czech Elections in the Era of Disinformation" with a fifth round focused on the parliamentary elections of 2021. The research is focused primarily on interactions between conspiracy websites and political parties.

This year the PSSI's NATO Summer School, entitled "Post-Covid Security Priorities", was held in August 2021.
