Policy Planners' Network

The Policy Planners' Network on Countering Polarisation and Radicalisation (PPN), established by ISD in collaboration with the British and Dutch governments, was the first European inter-governmental network of policy chiefs that was created to systematise cross-border exchange and develop a holistic response to key security requisites. By exchanging best practices and experiences, working level policy planners from eight European countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK)  are facilitating a number of joint projects, comparative research, and input into EU programming with the long term requirements of integration and social cohesion.
