How to get to the venue
The university building at Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1 is home to the Faculty for Business, Economics and Statistics and the Faculty of Mathematics. The building, which has opened in 2013, was built in the 1960s and has since been completely revitalised. It houses numerous modern lecture halls, seminar and computer rooms, a library, break areas and communication zones, as well as a cafeteria and dining hall. A highlight is the Sky Lounge event room on the 12th floor, which includes a rooftop terrace with a panoramic view of the city of Vienna, the surrounding countryside and the Danube Canal local recreation area.
About the Venue of Conference
In today’s global landscape, terrorism remains one of the most significant and pervasive threats to international security and stability. The fight against terrorism and extremism and related measures have been overwhelmingly perceived as a security issue and have not received sufficient attention from academia as a field of research.
The phenomenon of global terrorism has evolved to encompass a broad spectrum of threats that transcend national borders, political ideologies and cultural boundaries. This evolution requires a comprehensive and multi-layered approach to understanding and combating the myriad forms of terrorism.
Although it is not enough, this challenge is increasingly being identified as a field of scientific research at various universities and research institutes beyond the security sector. Which backgrounds motivate young people to violence and destruction, which networks, weapons and financial interests promote the spread of terror in the world? What measures do the affected states take in response to this danger and the associated consequences for their countries? These and similar questions form the basis for the researchers.
The International Conference on Interdisciplinary Terrorism and Extremism Studies (ICITES) aims to provide a platform for experts, policy makers, security professionals, academics, researchers and other stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogue and knowledge exchange. We invite submissions that address the broad theme of “Global Perspectives on Terrorism: Understanding and Addressing the Evolving Threat Spectrum”.
