SMIDGE Webinar: Radicalisation and Extremist Narratives – Quo Vadis?

As part of the SMIDGE project, we are pleased to invite you to our fifth webinar, “Radicalisation and Extremist Narratives – Quo Vadis?”, organised by the Kosovar Centre for Security Studies (KCSS) in partnership with Inclusive Europe.

We invite you to participate actively in the webinar, sharing your knowledge and learning from other experts in the field. You can also find ways to collaborate more actively with stakeholders and periodically share ideas and insights on tackling extremist narratives, online radicalisation, and dis/misinformation.

Now in its third and final year, the SMIDGE project is focused on strengthening collaboration across research initiatives and fostering the exchange of knowledge in the field of radicalisation, online extremism, and misinformation. This webinar brings together researchers and practitioners from SMIDGE, ARENAS, OppAttune, and other key stakeholders for an engaging and interdisciplinary dialogue.
