Towards a European research hub on contemporary antisemitism and Jewish life and culture

The main goal of this opportunity is to create a European research hub dedicated to contemporary antisemitism and Jewish life and culture. The initiative aims to strengthen the research community, provide training and career development for researchers—especially those early in their careers—and ensure that research findings can inform national and European policy. It seeks to build a sustainable network of researchers, address gaps in current research, and set methodological standards. The hub will also foster links between research and policymaking to support Jewish life throughout Europe, with a special focus on underrepresented regions and promoting international cooperation.
