ForChange was an interdisciplinary Bavarian research association with a four-year term from 2013 to 2017. The research association was funded by the Bavarian Ministry of Education and Culture, Science and Art (now: Bavarian Ministry of Science and Art) and reviewed by seven academic experts.
Focus was placed on questions of competencies, action and decision-making abilities of individuals, groups and institutions under conditions of existential change – the concept of Resilience. The managing director was Sabine Toussaint. Since the beginning of 2016, Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen was spokesperson of the network (in 2014/15, Prof. Dr. Claudia R. Binder was the spokesperson). Deputy spokesperson was Prof. Dr. Markus Vogt. The association comprised 13 research projects from five Bavarian universities and a wide variety of disciplines: geography, media and communication sciences, political sciences, philosophy, psychology, law, sociology, theology, business administration, economics, financial mathematics and industrial engineering (ForChange, n.d.).
