Internal Expert Workshop | December 3, 2025

Analytical Exchange on Antisemitism, Islamism, and Social Radicalization

On December 3, 2025, the Zera Institute convened its first internal expert panel in a closed working format. Participants included Seyran Ateş, Siegmund Königsberg, Commissioner against Antisemitism of the Jewish Community of Berlin, and Ali Ertan Toprak.

The discussion examined current manifestations of antisemitism and Islamism in Germany, as well as patterns of radicalization across different social contexts. Particular attention was given to the dynamics through which extremist narratives spread in public spaces and digital environments. A further focus lay on structural challenges in how politics, civil society, and state institutions address processes of radicalization.

The roundtable served as a forum for internal professional exchange, conceptual clarification, and preparation for future research and educational formats at the Zera Institute.
