    Notes for Description RAN

    In 2011, the European Commission established the Radicalization Awareness Network (RAN), an EU-
    wide umbrella network connecting key organizations and networks of local actors involved in
    preventing radicalization to terrorism and violent extremism, including first-line practitioners and
    field experts, such as social and health workers, teachers, civil society organizations, including
    victims groups, as well as policy makers, local authorities, law enforcement, prosecutors, security
    officials, counter terrorism specialists, think tanks, institutes and academics. [1]

    The Commission wanted an EU Knowledge Hub. In this spirit the decision was taken to set up the
    RAN Centre of Excellence with a view to pooling, deepening and disseminating expertise in
    preventing radicalization to terrorism and violent extremism. [1]

    The fundamental purpose of the RAN is for the first line practitioners to exchange experiences and
    expertise concerning the phenomenon of radicalization to terrorism and violent extremism in all its
    forms and presentations with a view to identifying tools and practices that support the different
    stakeholders in the MS in their efforts to prevent radicalization to terrorism/violent extremism. [2]

    Activities within the RAN are based on a number of core principles: 1. Prevention is key; 2. Involving
    and training first line practitioners is key; 3. Multi-agency approach is key; 4. Tailor-made
    interventions adapted to local circumstances, are key. [2] In addition, it is important to draw a line
    between ideas, even if extreme, and violent actions resulting from extreme ideas.

    Purpose of the RAN Center: 1. To foster structured dialogue, exchange of expertise and experience
    and the development of best practices within the RAN; 2. To make available to policymakers and
    other stakeholders in MS the large body of expertise and best practice within the EU and beyond; 3.
    To deepen cooperation between policymakers, academia, private partners and int. forums. [3]

    To attain this purpose, the RAN CoE shall: 1. Facilitate and enhance the exchange of experiences and
    cooperation between stakeholders; 2. Support the EU and stakeholders in MS in their prevent efforts
    through different support services, tools and policy contributions; 3. Consolidate, disseminate and
    share expertise, best practices and targeted research in the field of preventing radicalization. [3]

    The RAN CoE and the activities undertaken by the RAN are financed by the Commission. [3]

    RAN members are organized in working groups who have a sectorial or thematic focus and who meet
    regularly. They also meet at RAN Plenary meetings. The purpose of the Working Group (WG)
    meetings is to focus on particular topics, map and select the relevant participating experts stimulate
    an exchange of experiences, expertise and practices and further the development and evaluation of
    approaches and lessons learnt transferable to other contexts. [4]

    Working groups (WG) consist of RAN members and other participants, whose activities related or
    relevant to countering violent radicalization. Each working group shall have a Working Group
    leader who steers the discussions and ensures that contributions from participants respect EU
    principles and fundamental rights. Working Group leaders liaise with the Commission and the RAN
    CoE in the Steering Committee, and therefore have a key role in determining, implementing and
    reviewing the activities of the RAN and the RAN CoE. [4]
