ALLIES will initially conduct a well-rounded desktop (literature-based review along with previous outcomes from EU projects) and empirical research (through interviews, questionnaires and/or online workshops/focus group discussions with relevant experts, LEAs and HSPs) around the issues of online radicalisation, extremism and terrorism. This will result to the development of a unified taxonomy for online terrorist behaviours enablers, motives, and incentives. The scope of the end-users’ needs’ assessment will unfold in the partner countries to allow their unique perspectives to be forefront, considering the local legal, technical but also cultural particularities. The outputs of this analysis will feed to the awareness raising, training and education pillar of ALLIES project.

Following the preparation phase of the project, two development iterations have been foreseen during ALLIES’s lifespan: (a) The first will be dedicated to the initial design and development phase (prototyping) and (b) The second will be the continuation of the development along with the integration of the tools, which will have been initiated. The initial phase will capitalise on the findings from WP2 and WP3 activities, while the final phase will introduce the feedback received from the first pilot demonstration of the ALLIES solutions. The final tools (Semi-automated AI tool suite and Training platform, WP3 and WP6) will be presented in the final demo event in M24.

All the tools as well as the training curricula developed in the relevant WPs will be properly demonstrated in two pilots (WP6). The first pilot phase will function as a feedback and evaluation hub, where end users inside the consortium as well as invited HSPs through the elaborated stakeholder’s network, will be able to provide their insights on the proposed solutions. During the second pilot phase the integrated solution will be tested The final demonstration of all the ALLIES tool suite, will be held in at the end of the project, combined with the final consortium meeting of the ALLIES project, which will be organised under a hybrid mode. 

ALLIES final solution and relevant tools will be duly communicated and disseminated throughout the project’s lifespan and beyond (WP7), proposing in that way to the end users (HSPs) one well-rounded solution for supporting them towards the smooth implementation of the TCO regulation, also increasing the volume of the removed TCO, in full respect to fundamental human rights.
