The Global Homeland Security Education Network

The Global Homeland Security Education Network (GHSEN) seeks to provide an internet-based venue to bring together individuals and institutions from across the globe dedicated to advancing homeland security education as evidenced in many disciplines and areas.

As an integral part of the GHSEN the electronic Journal of the Global Homeland Security Education Network (JGHSEN) is being established to allow for the publication of innovative contributions in the examination of transnational, comparative, and cooperative efforts to ensure and advance homeland security. The GHSEN is a product of the work of a consortium of universities under a EU-U.S. Atlantis grant (P116J090056) from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, (FIPSE), U.S. Department of Education. 

Four partner institutions are involved in this research project: in terms of the European Union these are Northumbria University (the United Kingdom), and Linnaeus University (Sweden).  For the U.S. the partner institutions are the University of Central Missouri and Virginia Commonwealth University.
