Judicial and Police Cooperation Preventing Radicalisation Towards Terrorism

The project aims to strengthen judicial and law enforcement cooperation across EU Member States (MS) in the prevention of radicalisation, by addressing training gaps in the field of Justice and Home Affairs (JHA), enhancing interagency coordination, and developing harmonised yet adaptable legal training solutions. The initiative focuses on designing and delivering a scalable, modular “Toolkit of Toolkits”, capable of accommodating national legal specificities while reinforcing common standards rooted in Fundamental Rights and the EU acquis.

Objectives:

  1. Address fragmentation in cross-border judicial cooperation and training networks;
  2. Design innovative legal training content on the preventive use of judicial measures against radicalisation;
  3. Deliver a modular Toolkit of Toolkits aligned with CJEU and ECtHR jurisprudence, FRA guidance, and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Key Activities:

  • 9 Training Living Labs (TLLs) across EU regions to support interagency learning and contextualise preventive judicial practices (50 experts involved);
  • Production of a Handbook (1,000 copies) for trainers on judicial tools for radicalisation prevention, integrating relevant case-law and EU guidelines;
  • Development of five new training modules, delivered through the HERMES Learning Management System;
  • 23 national interagency training courses targeting law enforcement, judicial professionals, and prison authorities (675 participants);
  • Online Training of Trainers (ToT) involving 26 multiagency contact points;
  • Wide-scale dissemination via 1 international conference and a multimedia campaign to ensure visibility and uptake.

Persons Benefiting:

  • 675 direct trainees across 23 MSs;
  • 1,000 judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and prison directors receiving the Handbook;
  • Wider reach via multimedia outputs and dissemination events.

Expected Results:

  • Enhanced capacity of national authorities to cooperate on radicalisation prevention through effective judicial and interagency coordination;
  • Better alignment of training and practices with the EU legal framework, including relevant case-law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights;
  • Establishment of a “network of networks” of judicial and law enforcement training providers and national contact points.

By promoting legal harmonisation and operational cooperation, the project aims to institutionalise prevention-oriented judicial practices and foster a sustainable training ecosystem that contributes to resilient, rights-based responses to radicalisation across the European Union.
