Terrorism, the phenomena of foreign fighters and European native-born Jihadists, and the processes of radicalization represent a threat for Europe. It is necessary to face the challenge in a European perspective developing and implement-ing the potential of scientific social research. Terrorist activities are rooted in social phenomena related to processes of radicalization which take place, on a European scale, both in online and offline dimensions. The article proposes the main cognitive elements related to a scientific approach - in a European perspective - to face the terrorist threat, considering potential research paths and obstacles.
