In the aftermath of 9/11, the world witnessed a surge in violent extremist attacks and focused extensively on the groups behind them. However, despite the increasing number of such attacks globally, there is a significant portion of people who remain unradicalized. The PREVEX project has taken a fresh approach by investigating why individuals are not radicalized and how this resilience can prevent violent extremism. 

Explore the project's findings from the four regions this project has focused on: the Balkans, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Sahel and delve into the path towards preventing violent extremism with the lightest footprint possible.

The PREVEX project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 870724.
