Suspicions were allegedly raised after claims a new digital publishing house called Veruscript, which helps cover some of the CIS's costs, may be acting as a front for the Russian intelligence services.
The publishing house, which, according to its website, is based in London, is also publishing a new journal, the Journal of Intelligence and Terrorism Studies.
Some of those involved are thought to be concerned that Russia may attempt to use the link to the seminars to influence sensitive debates on national defence and security, sources told the Financial Times.
Last night, experts warned it was feasible for the Russians to be involved, despite no concrete evidence yet found to suggest the claims are true.
Oleg Gordievsky, who ran the KGB's London bureau and was a double agent for the British intelligence service from 1974, said Russians were targeting creative industries but in larger cities, such as London.
