On the eve of Israel’s 78th Independence Day, Prof. Uri Sivan says the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology sees ‘Israel’s security, Israel’s economy, and Israel’s society’ as central to its work, even as war, reserve duty and academic boycotts test the institution’s resilience. As Israel remains at war and many of its students continue to cycle between campus and reserve duty, those guiding them see their mission extending beyond academic excellence alone to include the needs of the state itself. Speaking ahead of Israel’s 78th Independence Day, Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan says the country’s flagship engineering school has…
On a recent morning at the Shulich Faculty of Chemistry at Haifa’s Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, three post-doctoral students from India were immersed in their research experiments. The lab was crowded with glass beakers, bottles, test tubes, and syringes. Suddenly, a siren blared, indicating a possible incoming Iranian ballistic missile. The students calmly filed out of the Ashraf Brik lab, as though this drill were part of normal procedure, and headed for the protected room down the hall. One didn’t bother to take off his white lab coat and gloves. After about 10 minutes, the students returned to…

A Dream Realized Four years after first approaching the Technion, I was accepted. Then October 7 happened, postponing the start of classes. Today I am in perhaps the University’s toughest program: a 9-year track to earn an M.D. in the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and a bachelor’s degree in the Faculty of […]
I thank my late uncle, a fallen IDF soldier, for steering me on to this path. He studied computer engineering at the Technion, and his name is on the University’s memorial wall. I didn’t have the honor of meeting him, but I remember stories about him and knew I wanted to continue his legacy here. […]
I am a fourth-year student in the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Technion, majoring in mapping and geo-information. This field is meaningful to me because it combines technology and real-world impact. For example, using remote sensing and mapping, we can help farmers practice precise agriculture — detecting which parts of a field […]
I was born in Moldova, where my family ran the local office of the Jewish Agency. I watched them help other Jewish families fulfill their dream of coming to Israel, long before we managed to do it ourselves.
