Members of RAN Policy Support RAN Policy Support gathers members from both the public and private sector, think tanks, academia, and civil society organisations to provide policy-makers with the best available information and analysis on P/CVE and related topics. To support these policy-makers, RAN Policy Support brings together a wide community of EU researchers as well as extra-EU research institutes and networks active in P/CVE. This large network enables the exchange of more information and complementary research findings, with the goal of effectively informing the policy-making process within the EU and beyond. Main activities and areas of work RAN Policy Support is committed to informing policy-makers with evidence-based data and analysis in priority areas defined by Member States, such as: violent extremist ideologies (both online and offline) polarisation in local communities the management of foreign terrorist fighters and their families radicalisation in prisons rehabilitation of ex-offenders This entails the following knowledge-generating and capacity-building activities: ad-hoc papers and consolidated overviews training programmes and study visits workshops and thematic research events strategic communication in critical P/CVE areas RAN Policy Support manages a restricted collaborative platform for policymakers and researchers with details of the above described activities. Other resources, including an e-library and the EU research community on radicalisation, reinforce and foster interdisciplinary partnerships and exchanges among its members. EC Research e-Library on RadicalisationThe EC Research e-Library on Radicalisation is a searchable online database of research on the topic of radicalisation and/or relevant to the prevention of radicalisation. It should work towards the two aims of strengthening researcher exchange and facilitating/increasing researcher-policymaker interactions.
