the beginning of the XXth century. This worldwise famous institute, surrounded by a green campus,
trains to-morrow's researchers, ingeneers, teachers, architects and physicians in its 18 faculties. The
students can participate to prestigious projects, such as the launching of a satellite. The number of
publications and patents, and the attribution of the Nobel prize to Professors Hershko and Ciechanover
are an expression of the high level of the scientific research. At the edge of progress, its development is
linked to the growth of the country.
