After a very interesting first evening in the presence of a large audience, composed of young university students and people eager to better understand an issue that has forcefully entered our daily lives, the conference will conclude today with two sessions and the involvement of public authorities.
This conference is the first multidisciplinary civic act aimed at understanding and preventing Islamist radicalization.
This national conference facilitated the creation of the GEDI (Scientific Study Group on Jihad and Radical Islamization). This group, composed of university laboratories, will define actions to be undertaken to combat this threat to democracies.
