EUTEx focuses on the disengagement and reintegration of terrorist, estremist and radicalised offenders

EUTEx will contribute to the efficient prevention of terror attacks, which depends on the successful disengagement and reintegration of terrorists and extremist offenders (including foreign fighters and their families).

The project aims to establish a multi-agency and multi-disciplinary framework based on evidence-based and effective practices, stakeholders’ cooperation, and a solid risk assessment and continuity of care process. In this sense, EUTEx will build on European knowledge, skills, and products, furthering these by summoning the best expertise in relevant fields through innovative methods and, subsequently, roll them out Europe-wide.
