OUR MISSION
We provide expertise and services to research projects on violent extremism, terrorism and deradicalization and produce new and (hopefully) cutting-edge insights in the field.
We are driven by a motivation to improve society as a whole - a process which is going on at a comparatively small pace. When compared with technological advancements, the snail-like speed becomes apparent: the computational power of personal computers, on average, has doubled every 1.5 years between 1975 to 2009. Contemporary mobile phones have multiple times the computing power of the computer for the first moon landing on board of Apollo 11. It can hardly be stated that society itself has developed in that speed.
We are convinced that too little focus is put on the advancement of society as such, of promoting changes which require to adapt to a world becoming smaller and more complex every day. We are motivated to contribute our share.
One of the biggest challenges today is violent extremism - an element of danger rarely understood. As a consequence, it is met with solutions, which, at best, satisfy ad-hoc sentiments in an emotionalised public debate, but do not systematically and fruitfully help to mitigate or even resolve the issue.
We want to change that with concrete outputs from our research. And while doing so, we do things differently. The following three points act as guiding principles in our work:
NEW APPROACH
No 9 to 5 thinking
We choose a new approach in extremism research and combine basic with applied research. We also believe that a fresh approach combines best practices from research institutes, think tanks, universities and companies and creates something new: the merging of the best of several worlds. We also think research together with project implementation and provide our teams with tools which keep administration to a minimum and elevate quality research to a maximum.

SPREAD THE SCIENCE WORD
No more ivory tower
Scientific insights need to walk the earth in order to fight fake news and help the truth to its right. We want as many people as possible to profit from our work and take part in it. Our blog makes its contribution to that aim.
NETWORKING WITH ALL FIELDS
Not exclusive but inclusive
Irrespective of the topic, many fields, academic and non-academic, can make a valuable contribution. We want to put all heads together and shine a light on the topic like never before. And produce insights like never before.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
„When you are studying any matter, ask yourself only: what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out?
Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe or by what you think could have beneficial social effects if it were believed.”
BERTRAND RUSSELL
