MINDb4ACT: Mapping, IdentifyiNg and Developing skills and opportunities in operating environments to co-create innovative, ethical and effective ACTions to tackle radicalization leading to violent extremism”

The Institute of European Studies (IES) is a beneficiary and Workpackage Leader of the project MINDb4ACT, funded by the EU’s H2020 programme (consortium leader: the Elcano Royal Institute). MINDb4ACT has the objective to improve the current EU counter-violent extremism policies and to generate new ones. It focuses on five kind of interventions: research actions, exchanges among law enforcement agencies, strategic-policy exercises, training courses and pilot projects. All actions are developed within collaborative ecosystems - the so-called living labs - to facilitate stable collaborations that will enhance current law enforcement techniques. These interventions are carried out in five specific domains: prisons and judiciary systems; immigration hotspots and asylum centres, schools, cities and the Internet and media.

The project is undertaken by a consortium of seven law enforcement agencies, research centres, universities, industry associations and NGOs based in ten member states (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom).
