A founding member of the Ministry of the Interior’s prevention unit in 2016, Nikolaus played an integral role in establishing Austria’s National Network for Prevention and Countering Violent Extremism and De-radicalisation (BNED) and contributed to the development of Austria’s national P/CVE strategy.
To me, Eradicate Hate was the most important gathering of 2021 for those of us who work on issues related to domestic extremism and organized hate. The Summit uniquely combined a variety of perspectives, including experts, civil society representatives, politicians and policymakers, and the families and loved ones of victims. Eradicate Hate has the important mission of standing against the rising tide of hate and extremism in our society, and it’s an honor to be able to support this mission.
