After the University and College Union voted at its annual conference in May 2007 to consider a boycott of Israeli academic institutions, the PR firm Champollion was commissioned jointly by the Fair Play Campaign Group and BICOM to act as strategic advisor to the effort to prevent a boycott.
Champollion launched a campaign called Stop the Boycott. Champollion states on its website:
- We immediately helped to assemble a broad coalition of respected individuals and organisations from academia and the Jewish community, including the Russell Group and the Board of Deputies, to make the case for academic freedom and for working with Israelis to achieve peace.
