We are pleased to welcome Roy Zektzer on his return to Israel as a Zuckerman Faculty Scholar and Assistant Professor at Bar-Ilan University Faculty of Engineering.

As Principal Investigator of the Hybrid Quantum Atomโ€“Photon Chip Lab, Dr. Zektzer and his research team are bridging the worlds of light and matter to enable next-generation quantum technologies. The lab is jointly funded by the Zuckerman STEM Leadership Program, Israelโ€™s Council for Higher Education, and Bar-Ilan University. We wish Roy and all our scholars much success in their next academic chapter.

The World Laureates Summit 2026 in Dubai convened more than 150 of the worldโ€™s most distinguished scientists, among them Nobel laureates and internationally recognized researchers. Among them were our own Zuckerman Faculty Scholars, Yoav Shechtman, (Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) who was part of a panel, โ€œSix Senses and the Brain Forum;โ€ and Itay Tirosh (Weizmann Institute of Science), who participated in the โ€œGenetic Science Forumโ€ panel.

The summitโ€™s theme, โ€œBasic Sciences: Scientific Consensus for Addressing the Challenges of Humanity,โ€ highlighted the central role of fundamental research in informing long-term decision-making and collective action.ื”ื˜ื›ื ื™ื•ืŸ - ืžื›ื•ืŸ ื˜ื›ื ื•ืœื•ื’ื™ ืœื™ืฉืจืืœ | TechnionWeizmann Institute of Science

How weโ€™re rebuilding the Weizmann Institute โ€” and our hopes for a better future 07/04/2025

Standing Strong with Israeli Academia. Standing with Israel

The Zuckerman Israel Institute stands shoulder to shoulder with the Weizmann Institute of Science, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Tel Aviv University in the wake of the senseless Iranian missile attacks on their campuses several weeks ago.

While we are extremely grateful that no one was killed, we are deeply pained by the wanton destruction of research labs and feel for each researcher whose lifeโ€™s work was completely destroyed. Proudly, just two days after the strike in Rehovot, the prestigious European Research Council awarded twelve Advanced Grants to Israeli universities - six of which went to Weizmann Institute researchers. Weizmann secured four of the 81 grants awarded by the ERC In the life sciences category.

Together, we will work to advance academic research in Israel that will strengthen us and contribute to the betterment of the world at large.Weizmann Institute of Science

How weโ€™re rebuilding the Weizmann Institute โ€” and our hopes for a better future Scientific research is at the heart of Israelโ€™s success and has worldwide benefits. Our work will continue despite adversity.
