Starting year: 2026
Project type: Research network
Total funding: SEK 197,000

Propagandistic Realities in War (PRW) is a multidisciplinary network that connects early-career researchers and information security practitioners (particularly from the Baltic Sea region, the Nordic countries, and Ukraine) to foster collaboration and exchange on propaganda and modern warfare. The initiative aims to reframe how propaganda is conceptualized in conflict and explore innovative analytical methods. In 2026, PRW will host two international workshops focused on propaganda in the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe, featuring paper presentations, theoretical, cooperative and methodological sessions, and guest lectures from experts. The network aims to build a sustainable academic platform, lay groundwork for joint research funding, and seek broader support through international programs.
