Next Scientific Leaps

Put boundless curiosity and Israeli ingenuity together, and you jump-start new directions of thought that will underpin science, medicine and technology in ways we cannot even imagine. TAU’s role is to enable cross-disciplinary brilliance by providing the best research and study conditions. In many cases, interdisciplinary programs and facilities bring together dozens of teams from across the campus to brainstorm and experiment upon new ideas.

Naming Opportunities

• Center for Healthy Longevity: Old age is still an unknown country and maintaining quality of life is still a major challenge. This wide-sweeping center will address age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, AMD and hearing loss; psychology of the elderly; labor issues; government economic policy; Holocaust survivor legal rights; and more.

• AI and Data Science Center: The Israeli government has identified AI as a national priority with the goal of becoming a top five global AI superpower in the coming decade. This multidisciplinary center is leveraging TAU’s standing as Israel’s AI leader – and strong links with industry, hospitals and the defense establishment – to help fulfill the academic goals of the national AI plan. Main research modules advance AI’s role in healthcare, smart cities, security, economics and more.

• Center for Quantum Science and Technology: A center dedicated to expanding and accelerating TAU and Israel’s contribution to quantum knowledge and applications.

• Institute for Advanced Mathematical Research: A hub for pioneering research, vibrant international collaboration, cross-disciplinary innovation and academia-industry ties, the Institute will push the boundaries of theoretical and applied math, with a view to generating groundbreaking developments that benefit industry and academia.

• Extended Realities Research and Learning Lab: This unique facility provides scientists, teachers and students with futuristic tools that harness the power of virtual and augmented reality technologies.

• Graduate Fellowship Fund: Master’s and doctoral students constitute the main workforce in TAU labs and Israel’s future scientists, scholars, inventors, educators and leaders. They must be given generous fellowships to help them excel in their research without the worry of supporting themselves and their families.

• Laser Writer at the Nano-Fabrication Lab: Advanced laser photolithography with a friendly user interface to help researchers with small device patterning. This equipment is critical for fields including advanced solar panels, enhanced water filtrations systems and next-generation medical implants.

• Core Precision Health & Medicine Research Facility at the Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences: This facility will be a game changer for TAU’s disease research community, offering them state-of-the-art technologies to enhance their research aimed at combating disease.

• Core Facility for Cellular and Molecular Physics: To be equipped with state-of-the-art scientific instruments, this facility will upgrade and expand biomedical research being pursued at the Life Sciences Faculty, particularly projects in the cancer field
