Project head: Dr. Jörg Dollmann

Project team members: Mirna El Masri

Principal investigators: Dr Pascal Siegers (GESIS), Dr Alexander Jedinger (GESIS); Co-PI: Dr Gregor Wiedemann (Hans Bredow Institute), Dr Kati Mozygemba (University of Bremen, SOCIUM Research Centre, Qualiservice), Prof. Dr Betina Hollstein (University of Bremen, SOCIUM Research Centre, Qualiservice), Dr Jörg Dollmann (DeZIM).

The project DP-R|EX - for research on racism and right-wing extremism is a cooperation project between GESIS, Qualiservice at the University of Bremen, the Hans Bredow Institute and DeZIM. The aim of the project is to improve the research data infrastructure for research on racism and right-wing extremism, which is equally relevant both scientifically and socially. DeZIM.fdz will participate in the following sub-projects: (1) DeZIM.fdz will contribute to the (further) development of the metadata schema for research on racism and right-wing extremism, which will be the basis for the subject-specific data registry to be established at GESIS. The metadata for thematically appropriate studies from the DeZIM.fdz inventory will be transferred to the Data Registry. (2) DeZIM.fdz is developing the processes for federated archiving with the collaborative partners and is taking over data for research on the impact of discrimination and racism. (3) Finally, DeZIM.fdz supports the public relations work for the data portal in order to increase the visibility in the research community, but also in the field of communities affected by racism, on being affected by racism and discrimination. Particular attention will be paid to the development of a so-called "Data Explorer", with which interested users can generate uni- and bivariate distributions from certain data sets of racism and right-wing extremism research themselves in an uncomplicated way and without prior statistical knowledge.
