Welcome to the Institute for Research on Far Right Extremism (IRex)!

The institute researches far right extremism and its social embeddedness. The research results aim at strengthening our democracy in state and civil society. Dialogue and knowledge transfer are central to IRex. We cooperate with organizations and individuals from academia, government and society in all phases of research and outreach.
