ForGeRex is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts and will receive a total of \u20ac4.5 million over a four-year period (January 2024 to December 2027).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ForGeRex adopts 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the sub-projects tackle specific individual questions, interdisciplinary cooperation takes place primarily within three collaborative, association-wide topics. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forgerex.de\/forschungsthemen\/verbundweite-themen\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"38\">verbundweiten Themen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Gesammelte Informationen zu unserem Forschungsverbund finden Sie in unserem <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forgerex.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ForGeRex-Flyer-260319.pdf\" alt=\"Flyer von ForGeRex\">Flyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aktuelle Veranstaltungen<\/h1>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aus unserem Verbund<\/h1>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\t\n  \n\t\t\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-background  highlight single-post\">\n <div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"col-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"post-heading\">\n\t\t\tInsights from Peace and Conflict Research\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<span class='single-post-date marker'>\t\t\t 16.06.2026<\/span>\t\n\t\t\t  -
