Welcome to ICPG
The Intra-Communal Professorial Group (ICPG) is a network of academics dedicated to researching and combatting antisemitism in UK higher education and improving the environment for Jewish students, academics, professionals, and other staff.
We will devise evidence-based best practice standards and make policy recommendations, working with senior leadership and diversity and inclusion teams at UK universities.
We champion academic freedom and oppose all academic boycotts of Jews, Israeli institutions or Israeli faculty.
Who we are
The ICPG was created in 2024 in response to the sharp rise in antisemitism in UK universities since 7th October 2023.
Our network of academics was formed to take action in defence of Jewish staff and students.
We collaborate broadly with universities and Higher Education institutions, policymakers and other stakeholders, and engage where appropriate with communal organisations.
What we do
From research reports and practical toolkits to news, commentary and resources, our publications reflect the breadth of ICPG’s work. Browse the latest content by category to explore our evidence, insights and practical recommendations.
