Interdisciplinary Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cInterdisciplinary research is a mode of research in which an individual scientist or a team of scientists integrates information, data, techniques, tools, perspectives, concepts, and\/or theories from two or more disciplines or bodies of specialized knowledge, with the objective to advance fundamental understanding or to solve problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline or area of research practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ForGeRex employs a systematic interdisciplinary approach. A total of nine sub-projects at nine universities and two research institutions\u2014spanning sociology, political science, communication science, social sciences, social work, media and technology philosophy, art education, historical studies, political data science, and law\u2014address right-wing extremism as both a societal and scientific issue. Together, they aim to develop a comprehensive understanding of their research subject. While the sub-projects tackle specific individual questions, interdisciplinary cooperation takes place primarily within three collaborative, association-wide topical groups<\/a>. The association\u2019s management office<\/a> helps facilitate knowledge integration, as defined by the National Academy of Sciences, between the sub-projects and within the association-wide topics, while also supporting their collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
