Palestine Solidarity Response
University College Cork is actively advancing its Palestine Solidarity Response, delivering on a range of commitments designed to advance transparency and accountability in all our partnerships, while working to support education and scholarship with our Palestinian colleagues. UCC believes that by working together with all our stakeholders, significant and meaningful action can give effect to our common objectives in the support of global peace and human rights.
Palestinian Emergency Response Working Group
In May 2024, University College Cork set up an Emergency Response Working Group, as one of a number of commitments to support the education of Palestinian students and scholars displaced or at risk as a result of the conflict in Gaza. The aim of the Group was to report to the President on a programme of work to address the immediate educational needs of Palestinian students and scholars displaced or at risk and examine how UCC can provide support. The work of the Group took place against the backdrop of critical and urgent need in Gaza and taking account of the University of Sanctuary framework.
