CounteR - Security Webinar Highlights
Mon, 02 May 2022
One year into the CounteR project's implementation, the consortium organized an exciting webinar on April 20th, 2022, to share the latest project developments with a variety of stakeholders and to also gain valuable insights from industry representatives.
We want to remind you that CounteR is a Horizon 2020 project dedicated to supporting the fight against radicalization by developing an early-warning tool to detect radical content in the online environment, in close collaboration with law enforcement agencies and researchers in the sociology field.
One of the highlights of the webinar was a presentation given by senior researchers from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (UCSC), on the psychological and sociological factors associated with the radicalization process. Furthermore, CREST and PROPHETS, two sister projects that have undertaken a similar challenge, were also introduced to the audience. The amount of research done on the prevention of radicalization and terrorism speaks volumes about the importance of the work carried out by the CounteR consortium.
