Technion is a thriving nexus in the global scientific and technological ecosystem.
A core team of Technion faculty members is leading the implementation of the university’s globalization strategy. The goal is to expand Technion presence at major research centers, building heterogenic groups of researchers from different countries, establishing joint research groups among the three Technion global campuses, promoting research in fields of global significance, encouraging faculty mobility and developing student exchange programs that will inspire research collaborations. Technion International (TI), in its tenth year, serves as the home of the international student community at Technion.
Undergraduate
Technion International manages two full degree programs – Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering – as well as summer programs and student-exchange programs.
Technion American Medical School

Postdoctoral fellows
There are currently 231 international postdoctoral fellows at Technion. In addition, Technion sends six students each year to participate in the joint MIT-Technion Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. The Zuckerman Postdoctoral Scholars Program attracts the finest postdoctoral scholars from leading universities in the U.S. to Technion.
International competitions
Each year Technion sends teams of undergraduate students to participate in international competitions, such as Formula Student Challenge, Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), and the International Quarter-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition.
Research collaboration
This year, Technion became the sixth member of the prestigious EuroTech Universities Alliance, a network of top-tier research-based universities known for their scientific excellence and vibrant innovation ecosystems. Close collaboration with the other members of the alliance, an elite group of European universities, will help ensure that Technion remains at the forefront of global scientific research.
Technion is part of the European CESAER consortium, and participates in joint programs such as EIT – European Institute of Innovation & Technology.
MOOCs
This initiative serves to establish a global online presence and as a tool to encourage international collaboration. The total enrollment in Technion MOOCs to date is 81,400.
