To mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the AVERT Research Network is presenting Legacies of 9/11: 25 Years of Changing Global Security — a week-long series of panel discussions running Monday 7 to Friday 11 September 2026.
Each day is co-hosted with a different partner organisation and looks at how the terrorist threat landscape has evolved over the past quarter century, from counter-terrorism and online extremism to policing, Islamophobia, and the broader lessons of the past 25 years.
