Combatting antisemitism
in UK higher education

Helping to improve the environment for Jewish students, academics, professionals, and other staff

Welcome to ICPG

We are a network of academics dedicated to researching and combatting antisemitism in UK higher education and improving the environment for Jewish students, academics, professionals, and other staff.

We will devise evidence-based best practice standards and make policy recommendations, working with senior leadership and diversity and inclusion teams at UK universities.

We champion academic freedom and oppose all academic boycotts of Jews and / or Israeli institutions and faculty.
