The contents of this brief are based on the discussions that occurred from 3 to 4 November 2014 at an expert workshop on Research Trends in Countering Violent Extremism hosted by Hedayah in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The purpose of this two-day expert roundtable was to bring together researchers, policymakers and practitioners in a closed discussion of the current trends in CVE research. The goals at the meeting were to address the current research outcomes in countering violent extremism; determine the critical gaps in research on CVE; identify the new and emerging threats of violent extremism; and establish a recommended research agenda for Hedayah and CVE researchers in the coming two years.
