- Research
Since its inception in 1925, research has been one of the central goals of the Hebrew University. The University was established in the tradition of the classic research institutions, where members of the faculty are expected to be actively involved in research on an international level in the disciplines they teach.
The University strives at all times to maintain its status as a leader in research in Israel and to justify its international reputation for high-level research.
Within this framework the University is committed to active research that enriches human knowledge, both in the theoretical and practical spheres, and to place this knowledge at the service of society in Israel and abroad.
Research and creativity have always been the cornerstone of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem since its inception in 1928. For over 80 years, Hebrew University researchers have not only carried out outstanding basic research, but have also responded to the needs of society. The University is justly proud of its position at the cutting edge of world science. Its researchers publish widely in leading international scientific and scholarly journals, conduct collaborative research projects with noted scholars from other countries and compete successfully for research grants from international and national funding sources. HU researchers figure at the forefront of international science - from biotechnology and computer science to astrophysics and cancer research, from microbiology to solar energy and genetic engineering, as well as the humanities, social sciences and law.
