EUCTER: From a Jean Monnet Network to the European Counter-Terrorism and Security Institute Christian Kaunert, Professor of Policing and Security at the University of South Wales, describes the scope of EUCTER, from a Jean Monnet Network to the European Counter-Terrorism and Security Institute. Terrorism remains one of the leading security threats facing the European Union (EU) and its Member States, with a considerable impact on European societies.
