Call for Contributions: #NTF21 - Workshop in Berlin on War and Terrorism
The war in Ukraine shocks the people in Europe and influences the modern world and value order as strongly as it probably has not been the case since the end of the Cold War. This raises numerous new questions, challenges, and tasks for terrorism and extremism research. We want to take this change of times into account in a workshop and therefore cordially invite short presentations: We are looking for impulse presentations of five to 15 minutes in length that address the various aspects of the reorganization of the connection between war and terrorism. Exemplary are the following questions: - How does the war in Ukraine affect the security situation in Europe in the area of terrorism/extremism? - What role does the war play in the training and "hardening" of fighters from the extremist milieu? (Foreign Volunteers) - What impact will the war have in terms of the arms black market in Europe and the world? - What role does the energy issue play in the security situation in Europe? - What changes can be seen in propaganda? - How will social media platforms transform? - How does dealing with fake news look like? Of course, any impulse presentation proposal on the war in Ukraine and terrorism is welcome and not limited to the previously mentioned sample topic areas. Interested persons send us their proposal (max. 125 words/approx. half a page in Word) by April 8 to stephan.humer@ntfev.org Notification of acceptance will be made by April 10. The event will take place on April 29, 2022 at Hochschule Fresenius, Jägerstraße 32, 10117 Berlin, and via Zoom. Admission is free of charge. Participation without a presentation is possible but must be confirmed in advance via e-mail. Registrations for participation without a presentation can be sent up to and including April 27. Streaming via Zoom will be possible, but also for this, registration via e-mail is necessary. Unfortunately, we cannot cover travel expenses. Students are explicitly invited to contribute a presentation. The same applies to representatives of non-scientific institutions from politics, security, and the corporate world. -- Prof. Dr. Stephan G.
