Special funding for research on the Holocaust

The Swedish Government gives the Swedish Research Council a mandate to call for special funding for research on the Holocaust and antisemitism starting in 2022. The call opens on February 9 and ends on March 15, 2020. Read more here. The call is part of the pledges made by the Government during the International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism which was held in the city of Malmö in October of 2021. Prior to the Malmö Forum, the Research Council was tasked to map research on the Holocaust and antisemitism and to provide longterm suggestions which would strengthen the field of research. This resulted, among other things, in an overview of the Swedish field of research by Professor Klas Åmark, read more here.
