Achieve Complete Intelligence to Tackle Violent Extremism and Influence Operations
We are delighted to announce the return of
Countering Violent Extremism 2018. From Paris and Brussels to Manchester, in 2017 we saw a concerning continuation of terrorist and extremist attacks on European soil and further abroad. Extremism and acts of targeted violence continue to impact our local communities and online violent propaganda has permeated social media.
European nations have been stepping up security led counter measures to combat violent extremism. Yet, prevention and the ''soft'' aspects of counterterrorism must also be kept in mind. The concept of
Countering Violent Extremism (CVE), in conjunction with peace and development policies, has developed as part of a modern approach to combatting this persistent threat.
Don't miss the opportunity to take part in this unique interactive event, which brings together stakeholders from across the military, government, law enforcement and NGOs. This event will give you the chance to asses potential solutions and understand how you can effectively implement them into your strategic communications and engagement campaigns.
