Call for Papers 16th Workshop of the Terrorism Research Network Berlin (Netzwerk Terrorismusforschung e. V. - NTF) Main topic: 10th Anniversary of the NTF: Past, Present and Future of scientific confrontation with Terrorism and Extremism Time and place: The 16th Workshop of the NTF will take place at the Internet Sociology Department of the Berlin-based Hochschule Fresenius – University of Applied Sciences (Jägerstr. 32, 10117 Berlin) from March 22nd to March 23rd 2017. We´re looking for contributions for both days of the conference - "digital topics" are highly welcome! About the main topic: In 2017 the NTF will celebrate its 10th birthday – reason enough to reminisce about the beginnings, to think about the challenges of our present and to dare a glimpse into the future of Terrorism Research. One thing is for sure: the challenges are not getting smaller. But how do we deal with upcoming challenges? What was important yesterday and what will be important tomorrow? How has Terrorism Research changed since 2007? How about cooperation and competition between Theory (Science) and Praxis (Police/Intelligence Agencies)? What has been more important: Impact Factor or Impact on Security Reality? How will Terrorism Research deal with „post-factual times“, the retreat into Nation States and the „Conservative Correction“ in Politics worldwide? These and many other questions should be addressed at our Workshop, but of course there is room for many more topics beyond this main idea. So feel invited to send us proposals for Terrorism Research-related lectures – especially if you are a Doctoral Student or young Post-Doc who wants to present first research results. Contributions and Deadline: Contributions (German or English) should fit into a lecture of 30 minutes. At the end of each lecture there will be room for discussion (between 15 – 30 mins). Abstracts with a maximum of 500 words should be sent to stephan.humer@netzwerk-terrorismusforschung.org until January 15, 2017. Members of the NTF do not need to apply for the conference attendance in advance, they can enter free of charge at all times. External Guests/Non-Members need to send their full name, e-mail address and phone number to info@ntfev.org until March 19, 2017 to become registered free of charge. Due to the nature of the location we cannot provide a "box office". Spontaneous participation on March 22 or 23 is not possible! Please register in advance!
