Centre for Documentation and Counter Extremism

Centre for Documentation and Counter Extremism CDE contributes to social cohesion, security and compliance with international obligations.

We do so mainly by:

  • Obtaining Country of Origin Information (COI) and current events in order to assist the immigration authorities.
  • Countering extremism by mapping trends in extremist environments and offering counselling and training services.
  • Identifying individuals and organisations who meet the conditions for being admitted to two public sanction lists.

You can find our fact-finding reports and other COI-related publications here

You can find our publications on extremism and prevention on stopekstremisme.dk (in Danish)
