Knowledge, Learning, and Research

The Canada Centre conducts, coordinates, and funds research as well as the development of evidence-based resources, and collaborates with leading national and international experts. Our focus is on action-oriented research that is practical and can be used by practitioners working to counter radicalization to violence in Canada.

Canada Centre Research Catalogue

The Canada Centre's Research Catalogue provides synthesized research reports and information on research on violent extremism and countering radicalization to violence funded by the Community Resilience Fund and Kanishka Project.

Research Networks

The Canada Centre funds, plans, coordinates and participates in research and the mobilization of knowledge to better understand radicalization to violence and how best to prevent and counter it.

Five Country Research and Development (5RD) Countering Violent Extremism Network (CVEN)

Canada is a member, alongside United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, of this multilateral network to coordinate research and development on countering terrorism and violent extremism. The 5RD network helps the participating countries to better understand terrorism and violent extremism to develop and deliver new knowledge and capabilities on countering radicalization to violence.

Campbell Collaboration

The Campbell Collaboration is an international research network that publishes systematic reviews of evidence that inform policy-making and practice. The Canada Centre is working with Canada's 5RD partners to develop a global research initiative with Campbell to produce evidence reviews on countering radicalization to violence to inform policy development and intervention practice in Canada.

The Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security and Society (TSAS)

The Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security and Society (TSAS) is an independent academic organization that supports research related to the threat of terrorism and violent extremism, security responses to terrorism, countering violent extremism, and the impact of both terrorism and securitization on Canadian society. The Canada Centre serves as the lead point of contact for Government of Canada partner institutions who engage with TSAS.

The organization's objectives are to foster collaboration between researchers in multiple disciplines, facilitate the interaction of researchers and policy officials, and to help cultivate a new and larger generation of scholars interested in these fields of study.
