Abstract

The Expert Group on Violent Radicalisation was set up by a European Commission Decision of 19 April 2006 to provide policy-advice to the European Commission on fighting violent radicalisation. The members of the Group and its Chairman were subsequently appointed by the Director General for DG Justice, Freedom and Security in accordance with article 3 of the same Decision.
This Report has been drawn up in response to one of the tasks assigned to the Group and outlined in the Decision, namely that of preparing a concise Report on the current state of academic research on violent radicalisation. Neither the Chairman nor the members of the Group received any remuneration in the performance of this task.
