Förderphase I (2020-2024)
The Research Institute for Social Cohesion (RISC) completed its first funding phase in May 2024.
In the first funding phase, the researchers at MLU investigated, for example, how social cohesion is experienced, created and jeopardized regionally. The researchers from Halle have published more than fifteen specialist articles, three policy papers and numerous guest articles, for example for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, since 2020. The RISC book series, in which RISC researchers are involved as editors and authors, was launched by Campus-Verlag at the beginning of the year.
