CONNEKT (Contexts of Violent Extremism in MENA and Balkan Societies) is a Horizon 2020 EU-funded research project that explored between 2020 and 2023 the drivers of radicalisation and violent extremism among young people aged from 12 to 30 in eight countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Egypt, Jordan, Kosovo, Morocco, North Macedonia, and Tunisia.

The project mapped and established interrelationships and specific significance of seven potential drivers within three different levels of analysis.

Representatives from the 14 organisations of the CONNEKT consortium that carried out the research presented its results and recommendations in Brussels on 25-26 January 2024 at the CONNEKT’s Final Conference.
