The
Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will fund the main phase of the "Research Institute Social Cohesion" (RISC) for four years starting in summer 2020. The HBI, together with ten other German research institutions, had developed the research programme of the RISC in a one-year conception phase.
The decentralized institute will focus on issues of social cohesion from different perspectives. The HBI approaches the topic from the perspective of media research.
