SUSTAINABILITY IN ISRAELI ACADEMIA


Moving to the center of the country, the


Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot is committed to developing technologies to better manage our carbon footprint, through a multidisciplinary effort in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other science subjects. Turning to students, Tel Aviv University’s Porter


School of Environmental Studies is Israel’s first graduate-level school to focus on fostering environmental knowledge, with the aim of training the next generation of green innovators. The commitment to rising to the challenge also


starts inside the classroom at Herzliya’s Reichman University. The institution’s Raphael Recanati International School offers an English- language sustainability and government double major focusing on key issues in the fields of economics, politics and the environment. Keen young minds have the opportunity to take


their interest in positive-impact ventures a step further at Ariel University’s Center for Entrepreneurship, too, which develops and supports student and faculty proposals on various sustainability-related matters.


4 Israeli Academia | 2022


Bar-Ilan University, located in the city of Ramat


Gan, is home to an outstanding group of scientists specializing in renewable energy conversion, working — among other projects — on new materials for electric vehicles and renewable battery applications. At the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s newly


opened Center for Sustainability, projects range from improving agricultural output in the world’s developing countries to increasing community engagement on climate change. Down south, Ben-Gurion University is home to


the Negev Center for Sustainability. Part of the Department of Geography and Environmental Development and the Faculty for Humanities and Social Sciences, the hub promotes research related to the field of sustainability, focusing in particular on the various interactions between society, culture and the economy. In line with the global shift toward prioritizing


sustainability, Israeli academia is positioning itself at the forefront of scientific and technological efforts to meet the demands of today’s and tomorrow’s generations.
