EU universities struggle to cut out Israeli partners, with €15m in EU funds in defence-linked projects
A total of 34 European universities remain involved in 38 Horizon Europe research projects with Israeli entities linked to defence or dual-use technology - despite pledges to suspend such ties, according to a new investigation by Investigate Europe.
No, they struggle to cut ties because they don’t want to.
“€15m in EU funds” is meant to impress people with some big number they can’t practically imagine, but it’s a miniscule joke compared to actual EU numbers. If there was any interest, they would simply do it.
