Donations for Students and Scholars from Gaza/Palestine

We invite you to join our crowdfunding campaign. On the occasion of our double inaugural lecture on 29 September 2025 we would very much appreciate your donation to this campaign. With your donations, we want to initiate financial support for Palestinian students at Utrecht University who are experiencing difficulties as a result of the genocidal war in Gaza/Palestine. We are delighted that the Executive Board of Utrecht University warmly supports this initiative. We hope that this bottom-up initiative can inspire the whole academic community of UU and actively help to support also Palestinian refugee students and scholars in the future. 

We count on you! Thank you!!
