Lifting Barriers, Bridging Gaps and Creating Opportunities
The Bloomsbury Intelligence and Security Institute (BISI) is a youth-oriented organisation that empowers students and emerging talent in intelligence, security, and policy.
We foster professional growth through hands-on experience, mentorship, and global collaboration across public, private, and academic sectors. By providing students with essential skills and knowledge, we aim to bridge the gap with training, networking, and portfolio-building, opening doors to an industry that has long been out of reach.

Unredacted Podcast
Unredacted, the podcast that cuts through the noise. Each episode features in-depth conversations with leading figures from the security sector - including academics, practitioners, and policymakers - offering unfiltered perspectives on the most pressing geopolitical issues and international developments.
In our debut episode, we are honoured to welcome Lt. Gen. Fernando Giancotti. Now teaching at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and Sapienza University of Rome, Lt. Gen. Giancotti is also the former President of the Centre for High Defence Studies (CASD). He previously served as Commander of Italy’s Air Force Operational Command.
Our analyst Andrea Stauder met with him in Rome to discuss European security, NATO, and the future of European defence in an increasingly uncertain landscape.
