    Right-wing extremism is one of the greatest challenges facing society. In order to counter such activities as effectively as possible, efforts need to be made by society as a whole. In addition to law enforcement agencies, civil society organizations play a key role. Apart from recording and examining existing cooperation projects, the BMI project CONNECT includes several international conferences on various topics in the context of cooperation as well as systematic interviews with various stakeholders in the prevention of extremism. The panel presents studies and results on cooperation between the police and civil society organizations in preventing and combating right-wing extremist crimes: 1) A. Beelmann (University of Jena): On the state of research in the prevention of radicalization 2) T. Görgen/A.
