Spanish Rectors Pledge to Review Research Ties
Spain’s university rectors announced a review of some agreements with Israeli institutions in May 2024.
On May 9, the board of CRUE, Spain’s conference of university rectors, pledged to review collaboration agreements with Israeli universities and research centers it judged had failed to demonstrate a firm commitment to peace and international humanitarian law. The statement made suspension conditional and also pledged stronger cooperation with Palestinian higher education.
The statement establishes the scope of the commitment. Each university’s governing decisions and subsequent agreement records would show which collaborations were reviewed or suspended. CRUE had already issued a statement in October 2023 affirming solidarity with both academic communities, providing a baseline for comparing how its public position developed.
