RADIS – Transfer Project Social Causes and Effects of Radical Islam in Germany and Europe

Logo Radis

RADIS offers a structurally unique approach to working on the phenomenon of Islamist extremism and the trans­fer of knowledge to civil society, authorities, and ad­ministration. The aim of the project is to support and monitor re­search projects that are part of the BMBF fun­ding program “Societal causes and effects of radi­cal Islam in Germany and Europe”. In this program, 12 re­search projects are in­vestigating this multifaceted field from different disciplinary perspectives and cover a variety of research topics. Topics in­clude the causes of radicalization, helpful prevention strategies, or the effects of Islamism on society and the asso­ciated discourses. RADIS creates com­munication channels and transfer oppor­tunities among the research projects and with de­cision makers in par­liaments, ad­ministrations, civil society, security authorities, and the media.

The objectives of RADIS: 

RADIS brings the pro­jects together through joint events and re­gular exchange in such a way that em­pirical as well as methodological synergies arise and ex­citing impulses for the respec­tive research designs can be developed. This interdisci­plinary exchange provides added value for the indi­vidual projects.

The research results are made visible and accessible to a wider audience. Access to different formats and plat­forms enables continuous trans­fer between diverse stakeholders and events. Various target groups are at the center of the know­ledge transfer (e. g. teachers, students, politicians). RADIS is producing an anthology for re­searchers in the field and two blog-series for the in­terested specialized public. 

RADIS organizes dialogues with decision-makers in politics, adminis­tration, security authorities, and civil society and supports the pro­jects in making the results usable for different professio­nal areas. To this end, handouts for practi­tioners will be pro­duced.
