Prof. Tamir Sheafer
President of the Hebrew University
The Hebrew University was founded as the first major Zionist enterprise in Israel, already in 1925. Among its founders are some of the greatest scientists and intellectual giants of the twentieth century: Albert Einstein, Haim Weizmann, Haim Nachman Bialik, Martin Buber, and Sigmund Freud. Since its establishment, the university's researchers have been at the forefront of global research and have even won many prestigious awards over the years, including eight Nobel Prizes and many hundreds of Israel Prizes.
