CTED’s partnership with New York University’s Center for Global Affairs

Introduction

Academic institutions and the evidence-based research that they produce play an important role in supporting the work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate (CTED). In its resolution 2129 (2013) the Security Council directs CTED to identify emerging issues, trends and developments relating to relevant Security Council resolutions. In accordance with the resolution, and in order to strengthen its existing research and analysis capabilities, CTED launched the Global Research Network (GRN) in February 2015. New York University’s Center for Global Affairs (CGA) is one of the oldest members of CTED’s GRN. For the past 10 years, CGA and CTED have engaged in consulting practicums which place students in real world situations, working under faculty supervision. This brings academic perspectives and insights to CTED’s research and information-gathering activities. Below are highlights of some of the events that NYU and CTED have collaborated on over the years as well as a list of all 17 projects.
