Summary/Abstract: This text is a revised version of the keynote speech that the author delivered at the 2019 conference of the European chapter of IAFIE. The conference took place in Bucharest and was hosted by the Romanian National Intelligence Academy “Mihai Viteazul”. A considerable number of European intelligence and security services participated in this gathering of intelligence practitioners and scholars dedicated to intelligence education. The text makes a case for integrating intelligence practice and scholarship, drawing attention to some of its conditions, reasons and benefits. Several examples ranging from established AIVD routine to some of the service’s latest initiatives stress the significance of a close(r) cooperation between intelligence work, its study and other academic disciplines and perspectives.
