On 22-25 May in St. Petersburg, Russia, the Higher School of Economics, represented by the Center for Youth Studies, hosted the members of the DARE consortium. The meeting was organized in two parts.

The first day was devoted to the open international workshop “Rethinking Radicalisation: Frontline perspectives”, in which the participants presented their findings on theoretical and empirical understanding of the phenomenon of radicalization and its various manifestations.

The next three days were devoted to the discussion of the project and its progress. The delegates had the opportunity to exchange the first results of the project, discuss the emerging challenges and outline a work plan for the next year in different areas including the analysis of public policy in the field of counter-radicalisation, the study of the process of self-radicalization and case studies of Islamic and anti-Islamic radicalisation.

Special attention was paid to the issues of building a dialogue between researchers and public and state organizations, and local communities.
