Digital Extremism and Emerging Threats: Insights from Expert Lectures at MUP Digital Extremism and Emerging Threats: Insights from Expert Lectures at MUP 5. 5. 2026 Author: Oldřich Bureš In April 2026, the Center for Security Studies and the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague hosted thought-provoking lectures examining the evolving landscape of violent extremism. Delivered by Sean McCafferty and Adam Hanzel, both Marie Skłodowska-Curie GLOCTER Project PhD fellows, the sessions explored how terrorist actors exploit the digital environment and how new, harder-to-define forms of extremism are reshaping traditional security frameworks.
