The formation of the KomRex

After the series of murders by the right-wing terrorist group "National Socialist Underground" (NSU) became known in 2011, the social discourse on the causes and manifestations of organized right-wing extremism as well as the manifestation and spread of right-wing extremist attitudes in the population increased.

Friedrich Schiller University Jena has been making important contributions to this topic since the early 1990s.
Straßenschild
In 2011, the "Competence Center for Right-Wing Extremism" (KomRex) was founded to bundle and strengthen research activities in the field of right-wing extremism and make them visible to the public.
