Partnership History

The broad portfolio of joint activities includes student exchanges at all levels, study abroad programs, summer programs, joint degree programs and joint research projects and workshops.

Highlights

In 2020, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Toronto joined forces to launch a Strategic Research & Training Alliance. Teams consisting of three principal investigators from each institution are invited to jointly submit proposals for the development of a collaborative research focus, including the exchange of graduate and undergraduate students and researchers, as well as one post-doctoral fellow.

For the first cycle, from 2020 to 2024, projects in the fields of medicine, engineering and science will receive funding. The second cycle, from 2021 to 2025, funds projects in the social sciences, humanities, law, and social work.
