European Glocal Counter-Terrorism

Project description

Innovative training in EU counterterrorism

Terrorism is considered one of the biggest security challenges for the European Union and its Member States. As a result, there is a vital requirement for knowledge and expertise that would enable the EU and its Member States to address the current terrorist threats effectively. The MSCA-funded EU-GLOCTER project aims to tackle terrorism in the EU and its Member States by analysing EU counterterrorism at local, global, and EU levels. Six beneficiaries and 19 associated partners will collaborate to deliver a world-class PhD programme for 11 doctoral candidates. The programme involves world-leading social scientists from various disciplines, innovative think tanks, and industry partners. EU-GLOCTER promotes scientific excellence and technological innovation in counterterrorism.

Objective

Terrorism remains one of the main security threats facing the European Union (EU) and its Member States, with a considerable impact on European societies. There is therefore a strong need for knowledge and expertise that will enable the EU and its Member States to effectively address the contemporary terrorist threat. The EU-GLOCTER (EUropean GLOCal Counter-TERrorism) Doctoral Network will produce the expertise that the EU and its Member States require to effectively address this threat. The research programme is highly innovative in its emphasis on analysing EU counter-terrorism through the lenses of ‘glocalism’ at different levels, ranging from the local through the EU to the global level, and in the crossing of the public-private sector boundaries. EU-GLOCTER brings several beneficiaries with an excellent research track-record in counter-terrorism together with a range of Associated Partners from across the world in order to deliver a world-class PhD programme. The EU-GLOCTER project will train 11 doctoral candidates (DCs) using cutting-edge resources at leading research facilities, universities and think thanks throughout the EU and globally in the most important centres of power. The research programme involves world-leading social scientists (from a range of disciplines including political science, criminology, sociology, policing, and law) in combination with innovative think thanks and industry partners. The two main objectives of EU-GLOCTER are: (1) to provide world-class training to DCs in EU ‘glocal’ counter-terrorism - thinking globally, responding locally; and (2) to generate scientific excellence and technological innovation in the area of counter-terrorism.
