Boycott impacts Israeli academia grants drop
The Israeli academic community is experiencing a sharp decline in access to European research grants, particularly from programs like Horizon Europe. The number of grants awarded to Israeli researchers has decreased by as much as 67% between 2024 and 2025. Israel's ranking in these programs has dropped from sixth to twelfth place. This decline poses a significant threat to international scientific collaboration and is attributed to the rising phenomenon of academic boycotts and international opposition to cooperation with Israeli institutions. Such developments could lead to the migration of researchers and a reduction in the number of those returning to Israel, with warnings of long-term impacts on scientific research and technological development in the country.
