Petra Mlejnková

I am an assistant professor and researcher at the Faculty of Social Studies of Masaryk University. I am also Vice Dean for Internationalisation and Student Affairs. Within the CENTREPEACE project I lead a research group on cognitive warfare.

My research focuses on political extremism, radicalization processes in the European context, and propaganda and information warfare. I have published or co-edited several papers on these topics, including Challenging Online Propaganda and Disinformation in the 21st Century (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021). I am a member of several international professional networks, such as the European Network on Terrorism and the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats.

I have always stressed the importance of translating research findings into practice. I regularly collaborate on training and research activities with state and non-state security policy actors.
