Assessing the Effectiveness, Economic Benefits, and Social & Economic Impact of Obesity Prevention and Reduction Reforms and Programs: A Comprehensive Review in Israel and Worldwide
This study, led by Neaman Institute and the Number Zone company headed by Nadav Caspi, investigates the intricate relationship between obesity prevention, socio-economic leadership, and gap reduction. Through an extensive examination of reforms, regulations, and intervention programs in four selected countries (England, Australia, Canada, and Denmark), chosen after a thorough literature review and in collaboration with experts from Joint-Elka and the Ministry of Health, the study aims to assess the viability of investing in community and national-level interventions for obesity prevention. Furthermore, a comprehensive evaluation of selected intervention programs from Israel and other countries was conducted, focusing on measuring their effectiveness through a rigorous ROI analysis.
Industrial requirements for bio-fabrication
As part of developing the bio-convergence field as an economic growth engine for Israel, there is great importance in collecting data concerning the industrial need for infrastructure and services. This includes information about the required equipment, the types of products for which service is required, what engineering skills are needed, expertise in design processes, and more.
Mapping Human Talent Requirements for Jerusalem's Advanced Industry
The Samuel Neaman Institute for National Policy Research, together with The Jerusalem Development Authority, Jerusalem Municipality, The Social-Economic Forum and The Employers Administration initiated a project for encouraging discharged soldiers to study and work in Jerusalem. The main aim of this project is to identify trends in human talent requirements within the Jerusalem labor market.
UNESCO Science Report 2021: Science and Innovation In Israel
The UNESCO Science Report was launched in 1993 under the name of World Science Report. Since then, UNESCO has published seven reports in the series. The series describes and reviews the evolution of the support system for science, technology and innovation worldwide over time. Key emerging trends are identified and placed within their socio-economic and political context. Each report begins with an overview of global trends. Dr. Daphne Getz and the team at the Samuel Neaman Institute authored the chapters on Israel in UNESCO's Science Report.
Evaluation of the Israel Precision Medicine Partnership (IPMP) Program
The Israel Precision Medicine Partnership (IPMP) is a joint initiative of Yad Hanadiv, the Klarman Family Foundation the Planning and Budgeting Committee of the Council for Higher Education, Digital Israel, and the Israel Science Foundation. The program's aim is to advance basic research as well as new diagnostic and therapeutic methods by Israeli academic and clinical researchers. The purpose of Samuel Neaman’s Institute evaluation research project is to identify challenges in the field, understand the nature of collaborations between academics and medical institutions, and monitor the scientific and technological achievements arising from the program.
Graduates of Israeli Universities MD PhD Training Program
MD-PhD program graduates are an important pillar in Biomedical research in general, and particularly in the conduction of translational medical research. Developed countries invest significant efforts in this unique human-talent resource which in turn can contribute greatly to the local ecosystem advancing the healthcare, industrial and academic sectors.

Absorption of Senior Israeli and Foreign Researchers in Israeli Universities
This research, carried out at the request of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, relates to Israeli and foreign researchers who were senior faculty members in universities abroad and chose to accept position of Associate or Full Professor in Israeli universities. The study provides a recent mapping of these researchers in Israel including their research focus, the motivation for their arrival, their integration in Israeli universities and strategies for encouraging this process.
Models for Translational Medical Research in Israel
This project examines various models for the translation of academic discoveries ‘from bench to bedside’ to create innovative medications. The research examines how different countries in the world support basic biomedical academic discoveries and advance them towards industrial applications. The observation of these models can support the local pharmaceutical eco-system in leveraging Israel’s academic excellence to create societal and economic benefits. In addition, the research examines successful buildups of pharmaceutical eco-systems, in which the academy is a key player, in comparable countries such as Denmark and Singapore.
Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Smart Robotics
The aim of the project is to present an up-to-date and complete picture of the current activities in academia and industry in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Smart Robotics, and to examine the possibilities of advancing these fields, as is being done in many advanced countries.
