Projects
10/2017 – 10/2018: Society Extreme. Radicalization and Deradicalization in Germany
The project was part of the research project of the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) and assessed the current state of research in the fields of right-wing, Islamist, and left-wing radicalization. The overall project involved an interdisciplinary research team from the academic and practical fields, which focused on exploring the phenomena at the macro, meso and micro levels. It also shed light on the role of the (digital) media and the possibilities of evaluating deradicalization measures.
Our sub-project at BIM focused on group processes. The results were presented in various forms of publications, parliamentary evenings and transfer events in order to make the status quo of the research usable for the activities of the relevant actors. For instance, parts of the research results were explained in short videos.
