Multi-group actions against Cambridge University's partnerships with arms companies
The Laboratory for Scientific Computing is focused on industry partnerships, and boasts of its work with:
BAE Systems - a huge arms company headquartered in the UK, whose weapons are being used by Israel to attack Palestine, and by Saudi Arabia to attack Yemen
Qinetic - an arms company which specialises in drones. Exports include Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Boeing - the second largest arms-producing company in the world known also for their role in the heavily-polluting aerospace industry. They manufacture Apache attack helicopters and guiding systems which are used around the world, including Israeli attacks on Palestine.
BP - large oil company, specifically being targeted by some Climate and pro-Palestinian activists right now for its involvement in Israeli gas field Leviathan
SLB - the world's largest oilfield company, which facilitates oil and gas exploration and extraction around the world, including in Israeli offshore gas. They are involved in buying up land in the Congo and in the expansion of the East African Crude Oil pipeline, both of which are contributing to instability in the area.
The West Cambridge site hosts many other institutes and labs with dirty industry links, including:
Rolls Royce UTC (Rolls Royce is involved in the production of the F-35 stealth combat aircraft currently used in Gaza)
