INDEED project has been launched!

We are happy to inform that the European INDEED project has been launched. The consortium activities are coordinated by the Polish Platform for Homeland Security.

INDEED aims to strengthen the knowledge, capabilities and skills of PVE/CVE and De-radicalisation first-line practitioners and policy makers in designing, planning, implementation and in evaluating initiatives in the field, based on evidence-based approach. INDEED builds from the state-of-the-art, utilising the scientific and practical strengths of recent activities – enhancing them with complementary features to drive advancements and curb a growing rise of radical views and violent behaviour threatening security.

The INDEED methodological framework is based on the ‘5I’ approach i.e. 5 project phases: Identify; Involve; Innovate; Implement; Impact. At the core of INDEED’s work methodology is an interdisciplinary and participatory approach, which includes the co-creation of individual project phases and implementing them with the close engagement of multi-sectoral stakeholders. The creation of SMART Hubs (Stakeholder Multisectoral Anti-Radicalisation Teams) as part of INDEED is intended to facilitate this process.

The main goals of the project are:

1. Develop a Universal Evidence-Based Model (EBEM) for assessing the prevention and mitigation of radicalisation;
2. Development of a practical assessment tool based on EBEM;
3. Creation of user-friendly repositories (repositories of radicalisation factors and pathways leading to radicalisation; factors enhancing resistance to radicalisation; collection of evidence-based practices – used for practical use by practitioners and decision makers;
4. Implementation of targeted programs and training (offline / online).

Project financed by the European Commission, Horizon 2020 Programme.
