International Scientific Conference Held in the Land of Innovation and Honey

Last week, Israel was host to over 400 young, emerging scientists from 71 countries and 15 Nobel Laureates, from around the world, who came together to participate in WorldScience Conference (WSCI).  In the words of Nobel Laureate Professor Roger Kronberg, chairman of WSCI’s Academic committee, conference provides “a platform for inspiration, dialogue and discussion between promising young talents and the attending Nobel Laureates and eminent scientists” in areas ranging from physics, chemistry, life sciences and math.

Meeting inspirational Israeli researchers, working on a scientific poster in multi-national groups and presenting to Nobel laureates, watching multicultural presentations from all over the world - these are only part of the things theparticipants experienced at the WSCI.

Alongside the activities for the young scientists, the WSCI included special sessions that brought together the Nobel laureates and eminent members of the academia together with leading figures of the industry from Israel and abroad, discussing mutual connections between fundamental science and its applications.

The WSCI in Israel was designed to emphasize the strengths and advantages of the "Israeli spirit” that applies creativity and groundbreaking thinking to successfully combine basic and applied science.

The initiative to hold this unique international event in Israel goes hand-in-hand with Israel's leading global role in areas of science and it’s commitment to channel its innovative energy towards making the world a better place. 

Shabbat Shalom,
