GLOBAL CALL
Academic Boycott
For decades, Israeli universities have played a key role in planning, implementing and justifying Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies, while maintaining a uniquely close relationship with the Israeli military. It is time for Danish universities to end all institutional collaborations with complicit Israeli universities!

What can you do?
Here are four simple things you can do to support the campaign for an academic boycott.
01
Sign the petition!
We are collectively calling for an academic boycott of universities that are complicit in Israel’s regime of occupation and apartheid. Read the statement and sign the petition here.
02
Take action locally!
Help us spread awareness about the call for academic boycott. We have compiled factsheets, posters and flyers that you can print and can hang up or distribute among your colleagues. You can also find email templates for contacting management.
03
Report a research project!
Most research collaborations take place on departmental level, so there is no central registry of collaboration. Help us map research projects that involve collaborations with complicit Israeli universities, by reporting it here.Talk to your colleagues!
04
Get organized!
Strengthening our community is a crucial part of building the movement: it’s easier to take action, if you can do it with people you trust. Identify allies and talk about how you can organize within your own department. Check out this page to see and get in touch with existing groups at your university.
