Emergency Student & Security Support Fund

As Israel faces unprecedented attacks and fights to protect the lives of its citizens, the Technion’s first and foremost concern is the safety of its campus community. In response to the ongoing war, the Technion has established an emergency fund to ensure it will be able to protect its students and staff, as well as its campus infrastructure, during this dangerous time.

The Technion needs your help to support students and staff serving in the IDF, as well as the people, computer systems, and security equipment on the Haifa campus. Funds raised for the Emergency Student and Security Support Fund will be directed toward two main areas: Student Support and Campus Support. Learn more

The Technion community prays for the safe and speedy return of the Israeli hostages. As we approach the new year, Technion faculty and students have come together in a very special message of solidarity and unity: bring them home now. Am Yisrael Chai.

On Thurs. Nov. 23, 2023 the Technion held a gathering in the front of the Elyachar Central Library to show support for the released hostages and their families.

The Technion hosted about 30 students from schools in the north who were forced to evacuate their homes due to the war for a week of academic, social, and enrichment activities called Robophysics. The program was led by the Faculties of Electrical and Computers Engineering and the participants will be awarded academic credit.

In the spirit of giving and volunteering, the Technion Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering prepared special packages for the security forces and the evacuees. The kits were packed for soldiers, displaced families, and children, and included necessities such as toiletries and dry food goods and activities like science kits.

The Technion has recently announced a special grant program for its nearly 2,500 students who have been called to serve since Oct. 7. Each student reserve that was called up will receive 6,000 NIS (~$1,560) to help with tuition fees, dormitory rent, and other University-related payments.

With so many young people and workers serving in the IDF, fruits and vegetables are not being harvested. Technion students are volunteering to help local farmers get their produce to market and feed the country. With classes paused, students are mobilizing to fill needs in agriculture, hospitals, childcare and more.

Painted by kindergarten students at the Technion’s Naamat dormitory, signs conveying messages of hope were hung around the campus.

The Technion recently announced the start of the 2023-2024 academic year will be postponed as a result of the state of war and the high percentage of reserve recruits among students and faculty.

Since the onset of the war, the Technion has opened its doors to these residents displaced from Israel’s South. It is hosting approximately 60 people on campus.

These reserves study in a variety of faculties at the Technion and help in every way they can: packing combat rations, making ceramic bulletproof vests and much more.

Every day Technion volunteers are helping at daycare programs at local children’s centers in Haifa, including ones at the Rambam Health Care Campus, Bnai Zion Medical Centre, Carmel Medical Centre, and the centers organized for the children of Clalit Health Services workers.
