ISD resources for Researchers

ISD supports researchers and frontline practitioners with rigorous analysis, data, and practical tools to understand and respond to extremism, hate, and disinformation. Our work combines empirical research with applied methodologies designed to support prevention, early intervention, and risk mitigation across online and offline environments.

We provide training, analytical frameworks, and resources to support those working in policy, education, civil society, and public safety, helping translate research into operational practice. ISD works closely with practitioners to ensure our outputs are grounded, usable, and responsive to real-world challenges.
