Biography

Isabella Vogel is a Programme Manager with the Terrorism and Conflict Research Group at RUSI Europe in Brussels. In this role, she supports the group’s efforts to provide EU, UK, NATO, and other policymakers with rigorous, evidence-based data and analysis on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) and conflict environments. Isabella collaborates closely with colleagues based in RUSI’s London and Nairobi offices, contributing to initiatives focused on: analysing the gendered dynamics and impacts of state threats in Sub-Saharan Africa; Women, Peace and Security (WPS); Climate-Conflict intersections; and addressing the underlying drivers of violent extremism.

Before joining RUSI Europe, Isabella was the Initiative Coordinator and Liaison Officer at the Global Counterterrorism Forum. In this capacity, she oversaw key initiatives such as the Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism Toolkit, the Gender and P/CVE Policy Toolkit, and the Gender and Identities Factor Platform. She also cultivated and managed relations with close partners including GCERF, Hedayah, the IIJ, the Council of Europe, OSCE, CAERT, and the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact.

Isabella’s prior experiences include managing projects that promoted gender equality, conflict resolution, and safe, orderly migration in the MENA region. She is a Prince2-certified Project Manager.

Isabella holds a Master of Science in Political Science with a focus on Conflict and Cooperation, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies with a focus on the MENA, both from Leiden University, the Netherlands.
