6 Welcome
Dear readers, It is an honor to present to you the second
edition of Israeli Academia. This year, the guide revolves around the theme of ‘sustainable development’, one of the greatest and most daunting challenges humanity faces — as well as a growing field of research. The articles in this magazine offer a variety of
unique perspectives and approaches taken by each of the institutions featured. They showcase Israel’s potential for ground-breaking innovation and progress in both basic and applied research pertaining to sustainable development. With over 650 companies working to develop
sustainable solutions, Israel has much to offer. By tackling issues in our own backyard, such as water scarcity and desertification, we can turn into a key international player.
Best regards, Professor Yoseph Mekori
As we continue to increase our investment
in research related to sustainable development, I am certain the coming years will witness even greater scientific progress. It will be an especially exciting time to study and do research in Israel. The Council for Higher Education of Israel
continues to ascribe great importance to internationalization and international collaboration. We welcome curious, creative and critical-thinking international students and researchers, and we aim for anyone who passes through the gates of our world-class institutions to benefit from the dynamic, entrepreneurial and innovative spirit that makes Israel unique. I hope that reading these pages and learning
more about these initiatives, breakthroughs and first-person accounts will inspire you to come to Israel and engage in excellence!
