UK-Pal is a consortium of UK Universities working in partnership with universities in Palestine to support them amid ongoing challenges. 

The consortium was established following a request from the leadership of universities in Gaza for a coordinated UK higher education partnership mechanism to support institution-to-institution academic collaboration in response to the emergency facing the sector.

UK-Pal provides a coordination framework through which participating universities can support academic collaboration, develop partnerships and align activity with priorities identified by Gaza’s higher education institutions.
