Networking

The EENeT  has  developed and established  channels and procedures for networking also besides the annual EENeT Conferences:

  • Dissemination via the EENeT Secretariat: All members may send information or requests about ongoing studies, research questions, conferences and any other relevant information referring to the phenomenon of terrorism/extremism to the EENeT Secretariat, where the messages are  disseminated to all members of the network.
  • EENeT Internet Website:The Internet platform may also be used to place relevant information for longer periods as e.g. the conference reports of the annual EENeT Conferences (EWPS) on the open part of the Website. Besides there is a possibility to provide and share information only for EENeT members in the secured part of the website, the closed user group (CUG).
