The Research Center “Transformations of Political Violence” (TraCe) is an interdisciplinary research network of five Hessian research Institutions: The Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF), the Goethe University Frankfurt, the Justus Liebig University Giessen, the Philipps University Marburg and the Technical University of Darmstadt.

Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), around thirty scientists conduct multi-perspective research on the transformations of political violence from April 2022 to 2026.

Two members of FMSP are part of this project: Astrid Erll as Principal Investigator and Co-Speaker and Kaya de Wolff as Research Associate
