From Basim: "It is not just Danish companies, but also Danish universities that have
connections to illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine. The Technical
University of Denmark (DTU) is working together with Ariel University, located
in the settlement by the same name. According to DTU the collaboration dates
back to the 1990s.
After DanWatch presented the information to the leadership of DTU,
president of DTU Anders Bjarklev chose to stop the collaboration immediatley:
"We have ended the cooperation immediately after we were made aware of it," he
says: The money that was devoted to analyses in the laboratories of Ariel
University has been suspended and will be paid back to the fund that supplied
the finances."
