EUKH Expert Database In the framework of the establishment of the EU Knowledge Hub on prevention of radicalisation, we are compiling a list of national experts– the "Expert database". By joining this list, national experts will have the opportunity to participate in the work and activities of the EU Knowledge Hub.The platform accommodates three types of experts:Policy makers work for an administration and can represent their Member State in meetings, notably the Project Based Collaborations.Practitioners are front line practitioners working directly with individuals who are radicalised or at risk (teachers, youth workers, mental health professionals, etc)Researchers should have a PhD in a field related to PCVE and might be requested to provide their insights for evidence-based policy recommendations, contribute to foresight scenarios and in-depth studies.Application submission for the expert database is possible via a dedicated EU survey form, in which users must submit information about their professional background. Based on this information, the knowledge hub team will evaluate all submissions and establish whether each applicant is deemed relevant. Upon being approved, each applicant will be invited from within the system, after which they receive a direct invitation for joining the database.Submit your profile to the Expert Database FAQWe have compiled a list of frequently asked questions regarding submission to the Expert Database 1. What is the difference between policy maker, researcher and practitioner?Policy makers work for an administration and can represent their Member State in meetings, notably the Project Based Collaborations.Practitioners are front line practitioners working directly with individuals who are radicalised or at risk (teachers, youth workers, mental health professionals, etc)Researchers should have a PhD in a field related to PCVE and might be requested to provide their insights for evidence-based policy recommendations, contribute to foresight scenarios and in-depth studies.Both practitioners and researchers can be contacted to deliver a Tailor Made Support Sservice (a consultancy), a study visit, a training or to draft a paper (if they have ticked the box in their application to share their data). They can receive a remuneration for their services to a Member State. 2. My profession is a combination of practitioner and policy maker. Where shall I register?Applicants can only register to one profile. It is up to the candidate to make a decision under which profile they wish to register, knowing that Policy makers need to be approved by their hierarchy before included on the expert database. They should also be appointed to attend Knowledge Hub meetings with the approval of their hierarchy. Policy makers have access to a wider array of activities such as the Project Based Collaborations or study visits.Practitioners and researchers, once having a validated profile on the expert database, can attend Knowledge Hub activities on their personal initiative. Practitioners and researchers can be contacted to deliver a TMSS service, a study visit, a training or to draft a paper (if they have ticked the box in their application to share their data). They can receive a remuneration for their services to a Member State. 3. Can I create two or three profiles?No. You need to choose whether you are a practitioner, researcher, or policy maker. Please refer to question 1.4. What is the difference for researchers between ERCOR and the expert database?ERCOR is now merged with the expert database under the researcher profile. 5. I do not have a PhD yet, can I sign up as a researcher?The candidate must hold a doctorate / PhD or be about to defend it. If this is not the case, we invite you to register as a practitioner.6. I am a researcher still completing my PhD, can I join as a researcher?We will check your profile and assess if you could be registered as a researcher or practitioner based on your experience.7. I refused to share my details with my Member State, what will happen?You can access online events, trainings, webinars, EU Academy online classes, mentoring, job shadowing. By ticking the box authorising us to share your details with your Member State of affiliation you can enjoy the full access to all Knowledge Hub activities, including the possibility to be called as an expert to provide consultancy services to Member State requesting such a service.8. I am victim/ survivor of terrorism with experience in PCVE where shall I register?Please register as a practitioner.9. Can I delete or modify my profile?Yes, at anytime. Please contact the support service at eukhntu [dot] eu (eukh[at]ntu[dot]eu) if you encounter difficulties.10. How long does it take before my profile is validated?We count at least 2 weeks, in order to process the applications, verify the eligibility of the profiles, and checking with the respective national authorities. Please be aware that in periods of holidays or intense workload, this may last a bit longer.11. I work in the administration however, my hierarchy has not shared with me the link for policy makers, what can I do?We suggest you reach out to your NPPM, in the event where you don’t know the person, register as a practitioner and mention in your application that you would be interested to be a policy maker. In the meantime, you can apply on an individual basis (mentioning that you do not represent your Member State). You will have more limited options, but you can access practitioners’ events, trainings, and other materials of the KH Community.12. I want to attend the Knowledge Hub activities but my line of work is sensitive (e.g. secret services or counterterrorism)The expert database is not public. Only a restricted number of Commission and NTU support staff have access to it. The database does not collect job titles, phone numbers and information such as birthdates, or personal addresses. If you are a policymaker working in a sensitive position, use best judgment to share information you deem appropriate (email, employer, areas of interest). For example, an applicant working for secret services could list their employer as the Interior Ministry without providing additional details.13. I filled in the EU survey link but did not receive anythingThis is a two step process. After filling the EU Survey link, and following a verification by our services, you will receive a private invitation with a personalised link inviting you to set up a profile in the expert database. This process may take up to 2-3 days. Please remember to check your spam folder. 18 DECEMBER 2024Code of Conduct - EU Knowledge Hub If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our team at eukhntu [dot] eu (eukh[at]ntu[dot]eu)
