Around 60 students from several schools as medicine, veterinary, nursing, criminology, economic or law, among others, have attended this course.

The course is divided in two stages. The first stage is based on theory sessions at the Catholic University of Valencia premises on October 17, and the Commander of the NRDC-ESP and some communication experts provide some conferences about threats and challenges at National Security,as well as about disinformation in the media environment.
