In 2013, Prof. Dr. Michael-Burkhard Piorkowsky initiated the project "Konsumtheorie neu denken" and the "Bamberger Manifest für ein neues Verbraucherverständnis".
Prof. Dr. Karl Kollmann was able to win over the Austrian members of the "Bamberger Gruppe" and together with them established the "Schriftenreihe Kritische Verbraucherforschung".

The inspiration came mainly from social economic behavioural research and ecological economics.
