About
The Dutch Friends Association of Tel Aviv University was established in the early 1980s. With the appointment of its new President, Robert van der Heijden, in 2010, the Association is succeeding in raising Tel Aviv University's visibility in the Netherlands, working to establish scientific ties between TAU and Dutch universities.
During the past two years the Dutch Association has hosted TAU Rector Aron Shai at an event on Sino-Israel relations held with the Clingendael – Netherlands Institute of International Business and a conference on Alzheimer's disease together with the Alzheimer's Institute of the Free University in Amsterdam with the participation of TAU neuroscientist Prof. Ilana Gozes.
