Bjørn Ihler is Director of the Sweden-based Khalifa Ihler Institute, as well as founder and CEO of Revontulet, a Norwegian consultancy devoted to helping organisations protect themselves against terrorism and violent extremism.

An activist, expert, and frequent speaker on the topic of terrorist and violent extremist content (TVEC), Bjørn joins us today to share his thoughts on the very broad topic of "terrorism". What is it, who are the major actors, who is affected and how, where does terrorism come from, and more - these are all topics that we touch on in this fascinating introduction to an area that's often clouded by buzzwords and sensationalism.
