Terrorism and Political Violence Next Generation

Contact: [email protected]
You can sign up for the Newsletter here

Established in 2024, the Terrorism and Political Violence Next Generation Network supports PhD candidates and early career researchers working on the broad scope of terrorism and political violence.

Based at the University of St Andrews, the Network is international in scope and has members from across the globe. We collaborate with other next generation networks including the Vox Pol NextGen Network to strengthen a wider ecosystem of support available to PhDs and ECRs.

The Network organises online events, distributes a monthly newsletter, and acts as a hub for support and collaboration to nurture the next generation of researchers.
