Countering and preventing radicalisation, extremism, hate speech and polarisation

This funding call under the Horizon Europe program, titled "Countering and preventing radicalisation, extremism, hate speech and polarisation," addresses urgent societal challenges threatening democracy and social cohesion. It targets the growing phenomena of radicalisation, extremism, incitement to hatred, and polarisation, amplified by social and traditional media. Proposals should explore the drivers of these issues and provide actionable solutions to mitigate them. A key focus is understanding how algorithm-driven personalisation fosters polarised environments and facilitates the spread of hate speech and extremist narratives.

The call encourages multi-stakeholder engagement, involving media organisations, policymakers, civil society, educational institutions, and digital platforms. Research themes include analysing hate ecosystems, the intersection of disinformation and extremism, and the role of traditional and social media in countering harmful narratives. Proposals must incorporate historical and comparative analyses, ensuring insights are contextualised and relevant to contemporary challenges.

Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with the EU Knowledge Hub on radicalisation prevention and align with the priorities of the Radicalisation Awareness Networks (RAN). Clustering and cooperation with other EU-funded initiatives are strongly encouraged.

Expected outcomes include enhanced policymaking, innovative tools for detecting and countering hate speech, improved media literacy, and comprehensive training resources for educators. The overall goal is to build resilient societies equipped to counter radicalisation, prevent polarisation, and foster democratic participation.

 

Opening: 15 May 2025
Deadline(s): 16 Sep 2025
