The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, one of the world’s leading research institutes, is celebrating 100 years since its founding. Israeli President Isaac Herzog hosted Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan for a special discussion reflecting on the University’s early days and its remarkable achievements over the past century.
During the meeting, Prof. Sivan presented President Herzog with a special commemorative stamp, designed in collaboration with Israel Post’s Philatelic Service, in honor of the centennial.
President Herzog commented, “The Technion is a symbol of Israeli excellence. One hundred years of innovation, groundbreaking research, and the continuous pursuit of world-class achievements. A leading scientific and technological institute, the home of Nobel Prize laureates, and a bridge for collaboration between Israel and the world.
“Israel Post, through the Philatelic Service, has designed a special stamp to commemorate the Technion’s 100th anniversary, which I was thrilled to receive as a tribute to this distinguished institution. The stamp reflects the past, present, and future – featuring the historic building in Haifa alongside the Technion’s groundbreaking scientific achievements that continue to propel Israel forward with hope and wishes for success for another century of excellence. I extend my congratulations to Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan, its management, research and teaching staff, employees, and most of all, its students, who are building a better future for us all.”
At the meeting with President Herzog, Technion President Prof. Sivan said: “This is nothing short of a miracle. From a single building with just 16 male students and one female student, we have grown into a world-renowned university, home to Nobel laureates, with international campuses in New York and China. The Technion has been a cornerstone of Israel’s progress, from its early days through to the present. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to President and Mrs. Herzog for their partnership and goodwill, as well as to Israel Post and the Philatelic Service for commemorating this milestone in the Technion’s history – the centennial anniversary of opening our doors for the very first time.”
