This year, the Center for Media, Data and Society (CMDS) hosted the 2nd VOX-Pol summer course entitled "Topics in Violent Online Political Extremism," which was held at CEU July 4-8, 2016 and was attended by 25 participants from 19 countries across the globe. The program was run as part of the VOX-Pol Network of Excellence, a European Union Framework Programme 7 (FP7) funded academic research network focused on researching the prevalence, contours, functions, and impacts of violent online political extremism and responses. Like previous summer courses organized and hosted by CMDS, this year's summer school was organized in cooperation with the CEU SUN office, whose colleagues provided invaluable support and assistance.
