Anti-Semitism

Examples:

• 7.2.2024: Around thirty political science students took part in a discussion with the Consul General of the State of Israel in Munich, Ms. Talya Lador-Fresher. The terrorist attack by the radical Islamic group Hamas against Israel and the subsequent military operations in the region, as well as anti-Semitism in Germany and America, the possibilities and limits of German aid on the ground, the security policy challenges and positions of both states, the "two-state solution" and the role of the EU in the Middle East conflict were discussed both controversially and constructively.

Collaboration with colleagues and fellow students from Israel is a matter of course on our campus.
As an internationally networked institution, UR academics maintain a large number of research collaborations with Israeli colleagues in Israel.
In study and teaching, the Chair of Slavic-Jewish Studies and a Yiddish and Hebrew department in particular enable students to take a closer look at Jewish culture. And thanks to our partnership with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beer Sheva, there are also many opportunities for students at our university to get to know Israel first-hand during a semester abroad and, conversely, to welcome fellow students from Beer Sheva to the UR.
Supporting these collaborations is of great strategic interest to the university management.
