UCU boycott and defence of Israel
In its 2008 Annual Report the Foundation noted:

In its 2009 report the foundation stated that:
- In association with the UK’s Zionist Federation and other UK Academic Friends of Israeli Universities, Weizmann UK participated in a day of Science event that took place in March. This two day event was held at the Museum of Science in Manchester and London’s Science Museum in Kensington.[2]
