An Overview of Extremist Movements and Ideological Ecosystems Worldwide
The Extremism Atlas brings together researchers, OSINT specialists, journalists, academics, and institutional partners to systematically map extremist movements. The platform provides a coherent, verifiable, and context-rich overview of contemporary extremism.
Our Mission
We consolidate OSINT, academic research, journalistic analysis, and institutional reporting to make extremist ideologies, movements, and networks more transparent and understandable. Our goal is to strengthen societal resilience by making extremism research more accessible, consistent, and methodologically transparent.

What We Do
Data Collection
We collect publicly available information to support research on extremism. Our work relies on verified open sources and existing research outputs.
Analysis
We analyse ideological developments, escalation patterns, and emerging threats within extremist movements while paying close attention to context and dynamics.
Database
The Extremism Atlas contains a structured database of extremist groups, ideological ecosystems, and movements. Each entry follows a standardised profile format and includes clear source references.
Knowledge and Support
We provide analytical context, thematic briefings, and methodological support for professionals working on extremism-related issues.
Why this Matters
Research on extremism is often fragmented across disciplines, government institutions, and publication formats. The Extremism Atlas brings this knowledge together within a single, structured framework. In doing so, we support both public understanding and evidence-based decision-making in policy, journalism, and education.
Contribute Data and Support our Project
