At December 2024, we had the honor of participating in an important scientific event in Berlin, organized and hosted by major German research foundations: the Helmholtz Association and the Max Planck Society, and supported by other German associations: the Leopoldina Academy, the Leibniz Association, and the Fraunhofer Society.
The symposium was aimed at supporting Israeli-German collaborations and showcased cutting-edge science from German-Israeli partnerships that presented their work in diverse fields including earth and life sciences, AI, astrophysics, quantum computing, and sustainability.
We were privileged to present our Helmholtz-supported project: "The Eastern Mediterranean Sea Centre – An Early-Warning Model-System for our Future Ocean." This project was selected to represent Helmholtz's sustainability initiatives and was the sole project from the University of Haifa.
Proud to represent our collaborative German-Israeli team were Dr. Martha Gledhill (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research), Prof. Yizhaq Makovski, Dr. Or Bialik, and Prof. Ilana Berman-Frank from the University of Haifa’s Charney School of Marine Sciences.
This event underscored the strength and potential of international scientific collaboration, highlighting the importance of partnerships that transcend borders and disciplines to generate excellent science, and most importantly the unwavering support from our German colleagues during these challenging times.
