Galway University Under Pressure Over Technion Ties | Galway News

The Irish Centre for Human Rights is reigniting pressure on the University of Galway to cut ties with Technion University in Israel, just ahead of a Gaza-focused event — a follow-up to a December letter. At the heart of the dispute is the multi-million euro Asterisk green hydrogen project, where Technion is a partner. The university claims exiting would trigger major contractual and EU-level complications, as the EU hasn’t suspended its Israel agreement. Student groups like the Campus Anti Genocide Coalition argue the university hasn’t properly evaluated the human rights implications and plan to protest at the upcoming event, demanding full severance of ties. While the university insists it’s bound by existing agreements and has re-engaged with the EU, it says it won’t join new Israeli partnerships and has condemned the Gaza situation — without further comment.
