The TSAS Summer Academy brings students, recently appointed public officials and law enforcement personnel from across the world into direct contact with senior scholars, policy analysts and counter-terrorism specialists

The Summer Academy is supported by funds from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

Beyond supporting research and dissemination TSAS aims to cultivate a new generation of well informed individuals across several kinds of institutions. The Summer Academy is a principal part of this plan and brings together graduate students, civil servants, law enforcement officers, and members of nongovernmental organizations from across the world to participate in a highly focused learning experience. The Summer Academy is designed to introduce a comprehensive understanding of preventing and encountering violent extremism and how all of these are situated in the context of a rapidly changing society.

June 14: Course materials and video lectures go live for you to read & watch at your own pace.

June 21-25: Live (virtual) discussions with experts, research presentation from student participants, and mentoring and networking activities.

Course materials & recordings of most live sessions will be available for viewing for one week after the academy ends, for those who cannot participate live.
