Germany’s federal education ministry is to fund a research cluster to study Islamist extremism, aimed at improving the detection and prevention of terrorist threats.
The ministry will provide €20 million over five years to bring interdisciplinary research on the early detection and prevention of Islamist extremism and terrorism under one virtual roof, it announced on 22 June.
A further €14.7m has already been allocated to a set of research groups and projects focused on jihadism, the dark net, propaganda and mobility. These projects are now getting under way.
