ABOUT THE INDEED FINAL EVENT AND 2nd INTERNATIONAL POLICY AND PRACTITIONERS FORUM
After three years, the INDEED project has come to an end, with the Final Event and 2nd International Policy & Practitioners Forum of the INDEED project, that took place on 11th-13th September 2024 in Warsaw, Poland.
This event was a major milestone in the field as it brought together first-line practitioners, policy makers, academics, experts and evaluators from local, national and EU organisations.
This event marked the culmination of our efforts in:
- Strengthening evidence-based evaluation approaches to policy and practice in the P/CVE and De-radicalisation fields.
- Strengthening knowledge, capabilities, and skills in evidence-based planning, designing, implementing and evaluating initiatives in this field.
- Fostering a culture of evaluation and promoting evidence-based approach to evaluation.
THE DESIGN AND EXPERIENCE OF THE INDEED EVENT
Event highlights:
- Inspiring talks and networking: covering key issues and new horizons in evidence-based policy, practice and evaluation.
- Parallel sessions and workshops: opportunities to discuss innovations, developments and key issues in evidenced-based evaluation, policy and practice.
- Community building: advancing the state of policy and practice and the development of a community of practice for evidence-based evaluation.
- Advancements for the field: presentation on the gaps addressed by INDEED, our recommended approaches, and tools developed during the project for designing evidence-based initiatives with evaluation in mind as a progress in the field along with training and learning products aimed at enhancing capacity building.
- Legacy and Future Opportunities: discussing the legacy of the INDEED project, exploring and shaping the future of evidence-based evaluation, policy, and practice in Europe.
THE EVENT IN NUMBERS
ABOUT INDEED SMART HUBS
The INDEED network of geographical SMART HUBS (Stakeholder Multisectoral Anti-Radicalisation Teams) brings together first-line practitioners, policy makers and representatives of education and academia actively involved in designing, planning, implementation and evaluation of PVE / CVE and De-radicalisation initiatives such as policies and strategies, long term programmes, short term actions, ad hoc interventions.
Geographical SMART Hubs will be established in all 15 countries represented in the consortium; each Hub has a Focal Point who is the first point of contact for stakeholders.
The network of SMART Hubs enables INDEED’s stakeholders to proactively be involved from the early phase of INDEED to ensure a user-centred co-design of the project outcomes that will be of direct use and applicability by the various groups.

The International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) – a think-and-do tank based in The Hague, Netherlands – has established the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Centre of Excellence. The Centre aims to advance evidence-based evaluation and decision-making in the field of Counter-Terrorism and Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism (CT and P/CVE). The Centre connects policymakers, practitioners, and others working in CT and P/CVE and provides the following services: 1) training, 2) M&E support, 3) M&E helpdesk, 4) external evaluations, 5) funder support on M&E, and 6) evaluation synthesis reports. Through these activities ICCT’s M&E Centre of Excellence strives to bridge the gap between evidence and practice, transform evaluation cultures, and strengthen CT and P/CVE efforts.
The Swedish Center for Preventing Violent Extremism (CVE) was established on January 1, 2018, at the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå). The center aims to develop knowledge-based and cross-sectoral expertise needed to prevent violent extremism at the national, regional, and local levels. Among its various roles, the center provides tailored support to local actors, acts as a knowledge hub, and coordinates and streamlines the efforts to prevent violent extremism. The primary objective is to prevent ideologically motivated crime and terrorism. CVE’s work is rooted in the National Strategy Against Violent Extremism and Terrorism, which aims to prevent, avert, protect, and manage these issues.
