Palestine Colloquium Canceled by Collège de France Will Proceed Nov. 13–14 at Carep

The relocation follows a government-endorsed cancellation that triggered a petition seeking the higher education minister’s resignation.

Overview

  • Carep confirmed the event will run on 13–14 November at its Paris premises with limited in‑person capacity.
  • Organisers will livestream the full program and publish a complete recording to broaden access.
  • The conference was co-organised by historian Henry Laurens and Carep after Collège de France withdrew as host.
  • Collège de France scrapped the original booking in response to public controversy, as some figures labeled the gathering pro‑Palestinian.
  • Minister Philippe Baptiste called the cancellation responsible, prompting a petition of nearly 1,500 signatories alleging a serious breach of academic freedom.
