Supporting first-line practitioners and policymakers in preventing radicalisation and violent extremism

INDEED builds from the state-of-the-art, utilising the scientific and practical strengths of recent activities – enhancing them with complementary features to drive advancements and curb a growing rise of radical views and violent behaviour threatening security.
