The ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION: SEIZE UPON EMERGING FRONTIERS

The ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION



We aim to accelerate the impact of our programmatic work through impact investing, data science, technology, and innovation to the greatest inequities in the world.



What if one took what already exists—in data, in private capital, in partnerships and networks—and magnified it to serve more people and address still greater challenges? That is what the Rockefeller Foundation does through its work in Innovation, Innovative Finance, and Climate and Resilience. In each, we harness the Foundation’s own deep reservoir of capital and expertise in ways that amplify the energy and resources of the wider investment and philanthropic communities. All with an aim of tackling some of the world’s most vexing issues, from climate change to pandemics.


Our specialized teams channel the Foundation’s varied assets to extract more benefit from data science and artificial intelligence, more social impact from the financial markets, and more muscle from global efforts to combat climate change.


We seek solutions to the world’s great inequities at the frontiers of science, technology, and innovation.

EGMONT Institute: Extremist Offender Management in Belgium

Extremist Offender Management in Belgium By Thomas Renard (27 July 2020)  In Other publications EU strategy and foreign policy, Middle-East / North Africa, Terrorism The presence of terrorist convicts in prison is not a new phenomenon in Belgium. However, radicalisation or recruitment was less visible, or at least less observed until it became a policy priority to monitor violent extremists in prison in 2015. This chapter, which is part of a broader report, analyses the specific policies and tools that have been developed in Belgium to address the challenge of radicalisation in prison, and the rehabilitation of terrorist offenders after their release. This chapter (view the PDF below) was published as part of the report “Extremist Offender Management in Europe: Country Reports” published by ICSR, and available here .
