University of the Basque Country terminates CAF collaboration

The University of the Basque Country (EHU) has decided to terminate its collaboration agreement with the Guipuzcoan company CAF. The decision follows CAF’s contracts to provide trams for Jerusalem, which the university administration cited as the reason for the rupture.

Juan Ignacio Pérez Iglesias, the Basque Government’s Counselor for Science, Universities, and Innovation, has called on the university to reconsider the move. He noted that hundreds of Basque companies maintain relationships with Israel, including those in the military sector, and questioned the consistency of targeting CAF specifically.
