Ukrainian Institute of Research of Extremism

Ukrainian Institute of Research of Extremism

Institute is a Non-Governmental Organization of scientific and educational scope. What has inspired us to create it and what goals do we pursue?

The events which broke out  in the end of 2013 have become the biggest challenge for Ukraine and absolute majority of its citizens in the whole history of the independent state since 1991: thousands of victims of political standoff; occupation of the part of the Ukrainian territory; real battle actions; several waves of drafts for military service. Manifestations of violence, intolerance and aggression have become trivial phenomena for society.

Tragic, partly dramatic events have led us to create an institution, which would be a center for expert opinion and public attention towards extremism in various spheres of social activity. In order to achieve this goal we will invite leading academics, professionals, practitioners, explore the experience of developed countries and offer new approaches to solve acute social problems.

The mission of the Institute consists in confirmation of democratic values and establishment of legal society by influencing the agenda of public policy, government affairs, information channels and educational system .
