RESPONSIBLE FOR BAN

Administration of Sciences Po Grenoble

At Sciences Po Grenoble, the administration strictly oversaw the organization of a conference planned by the student association UGA Pour Gaza featuring Rima Hassan. The institution made the event’s holding contingent on the addition of additional speakers in order to give it a character deemed more academic and pluralistic. After initially refusing these conditions, the organizers ultimately adapted the format by including an academic speaker, allowing the conference to take place on December 13, 2024, despite the pressure exerted.
