Compiled by the Gaza Scholarship Initiative (GSI) and UK Coalition for Gaza Students, with the support of the sanctuary staff at King’s College London and the University of Leicester. Special thanks to Paul Webb (KCL), Aleks Palanac (Leicester) Katya Ivanova (LSE) for their assistance in compiling this report. Thanks to Elena Fiddian-Qasmiyeh (UCL) and Eleftheria Ktenas (UCL), Alison Phips (Glasgow) and the Glasgow Sanctuary team for championing the work documented here, and of course Soha Abu Eid and Abdallah Ramadan who have persistently led this work for, and as, Gaza scholars.

These Best Practices were drawn from the efforts of Universities across the UK, with particular formal acknowledgement to the University of Glasgow, King’s College London, the University of Birmingham, the University of Leicester, St Andrews University, University College London, and the University of Edinburgh for their close work with GSI and innovation in best practice. Your support of the scholars has been exemplary. Support from UK universities could not have been near what it was, without the Universities of Sanctuary Network.
