The Research Network on Antisemitism in the 21st Century
Welcome
Welcome to the homepage of the Research Network on Antisemitism in the 21st Century (FoNA21). Since 2021, we have been connecting and supporting projects funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) in the field of antisemitism research; these projects examine the causes, contexts, and manifestations of contemporary antisemitism in Germany from diverse perspectives and through various forms of inquiry. Through a variety of events and presentation formats, we facilitate knowledge transfer to the political sphere and society more broadly while also providing a space for dialogue.
FonA21 was established in 2021 as part of the funding program “Current Dynamics and Challenges of Antisemitism” of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, now BMFTR). We entered the second funding phase in January 2026 and are continuing our work as an accompanying project of this initiative. Following a new call for proposals by the BMFTR, thirteen additional projects have been selected, which we will support over the next five years. This expansion transforms FonA21 into an even larger network – one with an increasingly international focus – that more closely connects research, practice, and civil society while opening up new perspectives on antisemitism in the twenty-first century.
