Top Five Projects: Faculty Recruitment Fund
The Need: Strengthening Israel
The ongoing Israel-Hamas war, and resulting wave of antisemitism globally, have brought into sharp focus the urgency of reinforcing Israel as the stronghold and haven of the Jewish People. Israel’s world-ranking research universities have long powered the technological prominence, economic strength and long-term survival of the Jewish State. Among them, TAU is a pillar of the nation, responsible for groundbreaking research in medicine, security & defense, the environment and other fields, as well as for training the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators and leaders.
One major way to ensure Israel’s long-term resilience is to support continued, cutting-edge knowledge and technology creation. Accordingly, TAU is launching an ambitious Faculty Recruitment Fund to bring back to Israel academic stars currently affiliated with top universities abroad in the coming years.
To attract the most driven, creative and ambitious researchers, TAU requires competitive recruitment packages covering lab renovations, equipment purchases, fellowships for master and doctoral students, and/or other start-up costs.
Impact of the Fund
By contributing to the Faculty Recruitment Fund, donors will support the following goals:
- To combat brain-drain out of Israel, keeping top talent working for the future technological superiority and prosperity of the Jewish State.
- To maintain the competitive edge of TAU and Israel in the global scientific arena, especially in emerging fields addressing universal challenges.
- To ensure a steady stream of exceptionally talented scientists and scholars to rejuvenate the ranks of TAU’s world-leading schools and research centers
