The VOX-Pol Network of Excellence invites you to a series of Lunchtime Briefing Seminars, this autumn in Brussels, each exploring a different aspect of Violent Online Political Extremism
The series is jointly organised by the VOX-Pol Network of Excellence and the Representation of the European Commission in Belgium. The briefings are aimed at an audience of policy makers, security practitioners, academics and graduate students, who want to extend their knowledge of various topics related to violent online political extremism, and to network with specialists on this issue.
