A public panel discussion event is taking place in the city tomorrow, focused on University of Galway's links with Israeli IT Technion.
The link has prompted numerous protests, as well as an increasing number of high-profile figures refusing or handing back awards and recognitions.
University of Galway is linked to Technion through an EU research project known as Asterisk, focused on producing green hydrogen from seawater.
Some refer to the Israeli IT as a de-facto wing of the IDF, due to its extensive research and development of military technology.
And that is why many are calling for the University to cut its losses with the Asterisk project and sever that association.
But, the university says the framework does not provide any mechanism for unilateral termination by a single partner without breaching contractual and funding obligations.
But activists argue those legal concerns cannot trump the reality of what's happening in Gaza, or University of Galway's obligations under International Human Rights laws.
The panel discussion will take place at the Irish Centre for Human Rights on Thursday from 3pm until 5pm
