Forums & Centers
The Samuel Neaman Institute, in collaboration with "Bashaar - Academic Community for Israeli Society", organizes the higher education forum. The higher education forum was established following an international conference held in December 2004 at the Neaman Institute on the subject of "Transition to Mass Higher Education Systems." The goal of the forum is to hold discussions on issues that concern the higher education system in Israel and to hold an open dialogue between the universities, colleges, Israel Council for Higher Education, Planning and Budgeting Committee and other governmental and public organizations.
The Forum is a platform incorporating representatives of universities, colleges of engineering, government ministries and agencies, industry and youngsters, working together to advance insights and paradigms for engineering education, reflecting the needs of the 21st century.
The Industrial Excellence Center was established in 2011 and its objective is to promote a national industrial policy. The Center helps formulate and promote a proactive policy of industrial excellence, intended to sustain a balanced and high-quality national industry that maintains a healthy lifecycle, which is tested by its global competitive advantage and quality employment of all sectors of society. The Industrial Excellence Center is also part of the Israel 2028 Vision.
The purpose of the Energy Forum meetings is to provide a professional platform where professional can discuss specific energy related topics. At the same time, the Forum allows multilateral discussions encouraging projects in the fields of renewable and energy conservation. The forum meetings serve as a platform for defining professional, applicable positions, to be used by relevant decision makers.
The forum has existed and has been active since 2018. It includes a number of researchers from the Neaman Institute as well as other researchers with an interest and cooperation with the Neaman Institute.
The economic and social spheres are intertwined and invite a multidisciplinary discussion that relates to them and the implications deriving from government policy. The forum will focus on engaging in this integration with a macro approach, synergizing with the other content areas at the Neaman Institute, with the intention of influencing the shaping of national policy.
