Memberships

GIFCT’s Working Groups aim to further GIFCT’s mission of preventing terrorists and violent extremists from exploiting digital platforms by providing a space for understanding and expertise that grows GIFCT’s capacities to support member companies and counterterrorism and counter-extremism practitioners.

GIFCT Working Groups bring together experts from diverse stakeholder groups, geographies, and disciplines to offer advice on critical themes related to countering terrorism and violent extremism online and deliver on targeted substantive projects.

Each year, GIFCT updates its themes and focus areas and allows new participants to join. To learn more, check out past years’ outputs and the current year’s thematic Working Groups below.

Radicalisation that leads to terrorism is a phased and complex process. In this process, an individual or a group embraces a radical ideology or belief that accepts, uses, or condones violence, including acts of terrorism, to reach a specific political or ideological purpose.

The EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation brings together practitioners, policymakers and researchers working on prevention across Europe and in priority third countries. The creation of the Hub is outlined in the EU Counter-Terrorism Agenda 2020.

The EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation supports the development and implementation of policies and strategies based on shared knowledge and expertise. It fosters collaboration among stakeholders to address the challenges of radicalisation, emphasising an integrated, policy-driven approach and a whole-of-society perspective.
