How Trinity’s Divestment Policy Changed
A 2024 encampment agreement led to a formal review of investments and institutional ties.
The 2024 agreement committed Trinity College Dublin to completing divestment from companies identified on a UN list for activities in the occupied Palestinian territory. The college set up a taskforce in October to examine wider institutional links. It met 14 times and received 77 submissions from the college community.
In June 2025 the board said the initial divestment had been completed and accepted a broader recommendation to divest from companies headquartered in Israel. It also approved limits on new institutional research and mobility agreements. Existing EU research consortia were treated separately because Trinity said it could not readily leave them.
