About Us

The Jebsen Center for Counter-Terrorism Studies was established at The Fletcher School in September, 2005. Its mission is to increase the understanding and competency of counter-terrorism professionals. To accomplish this mission the Jebsen Center funds a robust research and analysis program, hosts conferences and a visiting fellows program, and conducts outreach activities. Predicting, preventing and preempting terrorist activity will be important early research topics at the Center as will the role of women and business in the campaign against terrorism.  Read about our logo...
