Dear Anglia Ruskin University,

I am writing to formally request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Specifically, I would like to request the following details:

What Israeli universities does the university have links with?
- This includes, but is not limited to, exchange programmes, joint research projects and information exchanges

What is the nature of these links with Israeli universities and what agreements underpin these?

If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request. If you need any clarification on any part of my request, then please contact me using this email address.

Under your section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way before the twentieth working day. If for any reason you are not able to fulfil all parts of my request, please respond to those that you can respond to, setting out your reasons for not responding to the entire request.

Should you require any clarification or further details regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me via email. I am more than willing to discuss and refine the request as needed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Beth Appleton

Dear Compliance Team,

I am disappointed that it has taken so long for you to provide me this information and didn't ask if I would like to refine my request earlier.

Regarding the question of links with Israeli universities, can I refine the request by focusing on relevant links that are ongoing or have ended in the past year.

Regarding projects with arms companies, I would also like it to be limited to ongoing projects and those that have ended in the past year.

Would you also be able to confirm that these are still being treated as two separate requests so that I can be sure that the proper cost and amount of time is allocated to each. If this is not the case, please let me know why.

Please do let me know as soon as you can if you require any further clarification or for me to refine the request further.

Yours sincerely,

Beth Appleton

Dear FOI Team,

I wanted to get an update about whether my refined request is being considered? I have not received an email from yourselves and want to make sure that there are no more delays than have already been caused.

Yours sincerely,

Beth Appleton
