TEST

A Jewish State is born

70 years ago, the State of Israel was born, but this wasn’t the end of Technion’s work, rather the start of a whole new challenge. Never before did the fate of a nation rest so unequivocally on the education of its young people. Israel needed infrastructure, medicine, water and energy. It needed innovators, decision-makers and entrepreneurs. For all of this, the people looked to Technion. “An Institute of Technology of a high level is one of the most vital needs of the State of Israel at this time,” said Prime Minister David Ben Gurion. “We are a small, poor people; our country is largely desolate; we are surrounded by hostile nations who threaten our existence. We are compelled to create, at an unprecedented rate, sources of livelihood for masses of our brethren who are returning to their homeland… For these great and difficult tasks we must call on the aid of the latest achievements of both pure and applied science and the most advanced improvements of technology.” Technion was fast to meet the urgent needs of the fledgling nation, turning out top-quality engineers at vast speed. Yet Israel’s Institute of Technology was at the same time firmly rooted in the future. Reaching for the skies in 1949, Technion recruited Prof. Sydney Goldstein from Manchester University to chair Israel’s first department of Aeronautical Engineering. Within a decade, Technion had vastly expanded, leaving the original building in midtown Hadar to serve the young State of Israel and the world from the upper slopes of Mount Carmel. At Technion, the fulfilment of a need is the starting point. The core of Technion power comes from vision – the vision to create a better future. This is a place where your imagination gets to work; where you are part of the global dynamo of reinvention – where everything is possible. How will the new-born state protect and sustain itself? “I have seen with great satisfaction how the Technion has been indispensable to Israel’s agriculture, industrial development, economic growth and national security. Its engineers, scientists and architects have literally built the State of Israel.” Albert Einstein

Guangdong Technion

Degrees of Technion

A year after the cornerstone ceremony of the Guangdong Technion Israel Institute of Technology, the fledgling multinational institute in China received official approval from the Chinese Ministry of Education. Cooperation with Technion is consistent with the goal of the Chinese Government to establish world-class research universities and to promote innovation-based development, confirmed the ministry. The new campus opens in the coming academic year..

TECHNION TAKES THE BRONZE AT THE CHEMISTRY OLYMPICS

Summer 2016 and Technion City opened its eyes to the stars, hosting the International Space University (ISU), the first ever in the Middle East. Over 100 participants from 24 countries paraded their national flags, many wearing national costumes to initiate an academic festival of lectures, distinguished guests and space innovation. Technion hosted the 29th annual Space Studies Program (SSP16) for an intense nine-week graduate level program which offers the participants a unique and comprehensive professional development experience covering all aspects of space programs and enterprises. Guests included US astronauts Buzz Aldrin (second man on the moon), Jeff Hoffman, and Jessica Meir; Rona Ramon, (widow of Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon); Canadian astronomer David Levy, who discovered Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9; and aerospace engineer and science-fiction writer Eric Choi. Events included a robotics competition, a rocket launch at Kibbutz Gal’ed, and the first SpaceUp Unconference in the Middle East. The energy charged summer even included a ‘Selfie’ of SSP participants at the heart of Technion campus, taken by satellite. Earthlings formed the letters ISU on the great lawn at the heart of the campus for a selfie from space! “Today, I consider myself a global spokesman for space.” – Dr Buzz Aldrin, at Technion SSP

Jacobs Technion-Cornell

Technion and Cornell University honored the 2017 graduates of the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech – including the first-ever graduating class of Health Tech students and the second graduating class of Connective Media students. This will be the last class graduating from Cornell Tech’s temporary home in the Google building in Chelsea as the new Cornell Tech campus home of the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute opens on Roosevelt Island in September.

TECHNION MEDAL

The Technion Medal is awarded in recognition of exceptional individuals who have made unstinting efforts to advance humanity; who have worked tirelessly to contribute to the welfare of the Jewish people and the State of Israel; and whose diligent and generous support has proved critical in advancing the Technion, thereby strengthening the industrial, scientific and economic infrastructure of Israel. First established in 1996, the Medal is the Technion’s highest honor representing the utmost level of recognition that the Technion can bestow.
