Global Research Network on Terrorism and Technology
The first phase of GIFCT’s Academic Research Network was led by the UK’s Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). The research conducted by this network sought to better understand radicalization, recruitment, and the myriad of ways terrorist entities use the digital space. As a result, the Global Research Network on Terrorism and Technology produced 13 papers based on the conducted research, and hosted two international conferences to share and discuss new findings.
