The Society for Terrorism Research (STR), the School of Law & Social
Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London and the Conflict,
Violence and Terrorism Research Centre (CVTRC) are delighted to
announce that the 17th annual STR conference will be held on July 7th
and 8th, 2025, on the University’s historic Egham campus.

In an era of global conflict, great power rivalry, state violence,
polarisation and political volatility, this conference aims to consider both
the raison d’être and future of terrorism research in the context of
overlapping global crises. Participants are invited to identify the key
evolving topics and debates of this multi-crisis era, particularly in light of
emerging hybrid terrorist ideologies and terrorist use of technological
innovation and AI. In the process we hope to identify new and emerging
research agendas, synergies and collaborations, in addition to
showcasing cutting-edge research.

The full call for papers will be released shortly.

This is an in-person event.
