Dear UK colleagues, Every day, more people die from armed conflict. UK Universities are complicit in this. dED are calling institutions to restore their sites as places of research and learning for the public good, not war. That begins with one powerful step: cutting ties with the arms industry. This open letter must reach at least 1,500 signatures to be presented to leadership at every UK university. https://ded1.co/how-we-do-it/open-letter-2025 Please only sign if you have a direct affiliation to a UK University/Higher Education (students, staff, alumni) or are a representative of a non-governmental group or nonprofit organisation. Best, Patrick -- Dr. Patrick Brian Smith Assistant Professor and University Fellow School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology University of Salford
