Funding and collaboration

Ingvild Magnæs Gjelsvik is an external Ph.D. Candidate financed by the Norwegian Police University College and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI). Gjelsvik is also affiliated to the Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX) at UiO.

Her Ph.D. analyses the role of the police in preventing violent extremism in Norway, looking at the opportunities, limitations and dilemmas in policy and practice. The project uses empirical data collected through interviews with local police and collaborating agencies as well as analysis of central documents in the field. 

The Ph.D. is a part of the larger research project Nordic Multiagency Approaches to Handling Extremism: Policies, Perceptions and Practices” (HEX-NA), which compares legal frameworks, institutional setups, perceptions and practices of the Nordic multi-agency approaches to countering violent extremism.
