What is a hackathon? In the programming world hackathons bring together programmers over several days to compete in solving some problem or in developing some software. A hackathon is a great place to connect with people in the same field, help each other to work out problems, develop new code and then use the techniques and code for one’s own projects.
The bridging project "Against Elites, Against Outsiders: Sources of Democracy Critique, Immigration Critique, and Right-Wing Populism” (short: DIR) links the research units “Migration, Integration, Transnationalization” (Director: Ruud Koopmans) and “Democracy and Democratization” (Director: Wolfgang Merkel).
The Research Unit “Horizontal Europeanization” is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The research group examines processes of European Integration that occur in the interaction between administrations, organizations and individuals. We work in seven research fields and together generate more general knowledge on the scale and scope of Horizontal Europeanization.
