Several programs implemented in recent years have tried to bring back the fleeing minds to Israel. Aside from the tax relief provided by returning residents, there have also been attempts to change the budget of the universities so that young researchers can be employed.
“There is one very significant statistic: the senior faculty at universities,” says Prof. Manuel Trajtenberg of Tel Aviv University and the Samuel Neaman Institute at the Technion, who served as chair of the Planning and Budgeting Committee of the Council for Higher Education until 2014.
“In 2000-2009, there was a significant decline in senior faculty members, And since 2010 the trend is reversed and an increase in numbers has begun again. “
