The second Horizon Europe strategic plan will steer research and innovation funding within and beyond Europe to tackle key global challenges such as: (i) climate change; (ii) pollution; (iii) the loss of biodiversity; (iv) the digital transition; and (v) an ageing population. From fundamental research all the way through to breakthrough innovation and the deployment of innovative solutions, the strategic plan steers investment into the green and digital transition, building a more resilient, competitive, democratic and inclusive Europe. 

The second Horizon Europe strategic plan refers to the Commission aims to fund actions that will aim to support the creation of a European research hub on contemporary antisemitism and Jewish life and culture (see page 73), and will also seek to deepen understanding of hatred, identifying its drivers and ways to address it.
