The UC Irvine/Israeli Scholar Exchange Endowment for Engineering Science program supports research activities, international collaborations and educational activities with Israeli universities, including Tel Aviv University, The Technion (Israel Institute of Technology), Ben Gurion University and Hebrew University. The program, established in 2007 with a $2 million endowment from the Samueli Foundation, seeks to build bridges between UC Irvine engineers and their Israeli counterparts and solidify the Samueli School’s role as a global leader among engineering schools.
