I am the founding director of the Extremist Monitoring Analysis Network -- a consultancy that aims to become a world-leading curational resource on extremism and counter-terrorism. EMAN hosted two successful events in London and Berlin in 2021 and 2023 respectively that brought together academia, policymakers from the UK Parliament and the German Bundestag, as well as tier 1 media such as the BBC, DW and the WSJ to discuss extremism and national security in the UK and Germany. Each event focused on the broader national security challenges facing those countries and can be found on our website. www.eman-network.com
