ISD, a London-based think tank founded in 2006, studies polarization, hate, and extremism with the aim of informing real-world responses. It blends field anthropological research, knowledge of international extremist movements, and digital analysis to track hate, disinformation, and online extremism, and it provides policy advice and training to governments and cities worldwide. The organization also runs education, technology, and communications programs to empower youth and community influencers. It operates through a network of community influencers, city and government officials, and technology sector partners to develop and scale data-driven solutions that address cross-border manipulation and recruitment efforts by hate-promoting actors. Positioned within the think-tank ecosystem, ISD combines research with practical engagement to influence policy and practice in global contexts. In April 2026, ISD announced a partnership with Agence France-Presse to support collaborative investigations.
