About the project
See the project page for more information: VORTEX (mau.se)
VORTEX’s overarching aim is to develop new evidence-based innovative strategies to counter and prevent ideological and behavioural radicalization.
VORTEX will provide an integrated and meaningful research programme not only but primarily for doctoral candidates to pursue their research in a fruitful and meaningful dialogue among relevant disciplines and in a dense web of supervision, training, and interaction to jump start both successful and relevant careers.
VORTEX will explore and compare different varieties of radicalization in several empirical settings. Practice-based research with our 14 associated partners, connecting doctoral candidates to future job markets and audiences, will offer the opportunity to investigate radicalisations on several levels, ranging from local to global and from cognitive to behavioural.
