University of Barcelona: Institutional Restrictions Involving Israel

This page records specific public conduct. It does not claim knowledge of private beliefs or motives.

Documented record

• 2024-05-22: The Governing Council voted to establish no new agreements with Israeli institutions, activate termination of its Tel Aviv University framework agreement, and suspend identified company agreements pending review. Source 1

Context and response

The decision did not withdraw the university from existing EU research consortia; it separately called on the EU to block Israeli institutional participation.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Galil opposes singling out Israel or Israeli institutions for boycott or divestment. The action is documented above; the judgment is ours.
