Bar-Ilan University

Since its establishment in 1955, Bar-Ilan University has grown to a flourishing central Israel campus of 17,000 students. Its milestone achievements in science and all fields of human endeavour have made an indelible imprint on the landscape of the State of Israel. In recent years the University has made a major investment in developing science, engineering and medicine. One such example is the Mina and Everard Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences which today includes over 50 principal investigators and 350 technical staff and graduate students. Today, Bar-Ilan University is looking forward to a new period of transformational growth through the establishment of challenge-driven impact research centers, incorporation of innovative instructional methods, intensification of global outreach efforts, embracement of pro-active community relations, with an eye toward advancing the notion of "excellence" far beyond its traditional boundaries to impact lives and people.
