About the Hebrew University of Jerusalem: This year marks 100 years of excellence in research, education, and innovation at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU)—Israel’s premier institution of higher learning and a beacon for visionary minds who challenge convention and shape the future. Founded by luminaries like Albert Einstein, who entrusted his intellectual legacy to the University, HU is dedicated to advancing knowledge, cultivating leadership, and promoting diversity. Home to over 23,000 students from 90 countries, the Hebrew University drives much of Israel’s civilian scientific research and the commercialization of technologies through Yissum, its tech transfer company. Faculty and alumni of the University have won nine Nobel Prizes, two Turing Awards, and a Fields Medal.
