| European Friends of the Hebrew University Newsletter
|
Dear Friends,
Facing these challenging times, the Hebrew University, as always, continues to be in the front of scientific research in Israel. Our researchers are at the battlefront consulting the Israeli Government on a daily basis, helping to shape new strategies in confronting the pandemia and balancing with the everyday life needs, economy, and questions of fundamental human rights.
It is my pleasure to share with you this winter newsletter for our European Friends. The newsletter will focus on a wide range of new research, HU researchers' achievements, and of course, some new exciting media that we highly recommend you to see and listen to.
You are welcome to connect to our Social Media platforms to stay even more updated about news from the Hebrew University.
Enjoy the read!
