This report presents findings from the REASSURE (Researcher,
Security, Safety, and Resilience) project’s in-depth interviews with
39 online extremism and terrorism researchers. Based at universities,
research institutes, and think tanks in Europe and North America,
the interviewees studied mainly, albeit not exclusively, far-right and
violent jihadist online activity. The report catalogues for the first
time the range of harms they have experienced, the lack of formalised
systems of care or training, and their reliance therefore on informal
support networks to mitigate those harms.
