The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) engages in:
More than 638 publications and 53 institutional collaborations with Israeli universities since 1975, including on topics such as surveillance technology
Joint projects with military contractors, settlement construction companies, and software developers complicit in genocide and apartheid
More than 20 million DKK invested in blacklisted companies in 2024 with no proactive ethical investment policy
Research collaborations with Israeli universities are unjustifiable because of their support of the occupation and genocide
We have investigated DTU's ties to implicated organizations:
We call on DTU to:
Implement an academic boycott of Israeli academic institutions
Stop ongoing collaborations and investments in entities complicit in the occupation
Establish systematic procedures for vetting collaborations and investments, particularly for dual-use technologies
Implement and regularly audit an ethical investment policy with clear exclusion guidelines
Provide support to Palestinian students and faculty similarly to what has been granted to other vulnerable groups
Join us and show solidarity!
We are a network of students and employees from the Technical University of Denmark advocating for the liberation of Palestine. As academics we believe that one of the ways we can exert pressure on the Israeli state is through the establishment of an academic boycott, particularly because of the key role that Israeli universities play within the security state. Through the course of our investigations we have uncovered the links that DTU has with Israeli universities as well as private firms which are involved in the occupation. These are in the form of direct collaborations, student and personnel exchanges, and investments.
We aim to create awareness of these ties and hold DTU accountable for its involvement in the genocide of the Palestinian people committed by the Israeli government. Ultimately our goal is to convince DTU to institute an academic boycott and establish clear ethical policies on collaborations and investments which apply not just to this conflict, but uphold human rights concerns broadly.
