Research associationfor Contemporary Analysis,Remembrance practiceand counter-strategieson right-wing extremism in Bavaria<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Bavarian Research Association for Contemporary Analysis, Remembrance Practices, and Counterstrategies for Right-Wing Extremism (ForGeRex) conducts interdisciplinary research into both the manifestations, ideologies, and strategies of far-right actors in Bavaria, as well as effective counterstrategies.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Researchers within the association collectively examine current configurations of and societal responses to right-wing extremism through the lens of their diverse disciplines. 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

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

While the sub-projects tackle specific individual questions, interdisciplinary cooperation takes place primarily within three collaborative, association-wide topics. verbundweiten Themen<\/a>.<\/p>\n
