Bar-Ilan - Influencing Tomorrow - Today

Bar Ilan is proud to be one of the largest and most diverse universities in Israel, to lead, shape and influence Israeli society and the global community through advanced teaching, research breakthroughs, and extensive social action; and to be the fastest growing university in the last five years. The interdisciplinary research on campus has already led to breakthroughs, among which are the genetic engineering responsible for some syndromes, the development of new strategies for cancer treatment, knowledge that will make it possible to preserve high cognitive abilities after brain surgery, finding the connection between the tendency to aggression and the composition of the microbiome in the human body, and more. Bar-Ilan is a world leader in the development of means for renewable energy and is thus part of the solution to the global climate crisis. It is the only university in Israel that has a faculty of medicine in the northern periphery and is working to create a revolution in the quality of medicine in the Galilee and closing gaps between the periphery and the center; And it is a pioneer in the fields of artificial intelligence, cyber and future technologies. Only here, the world's first and only natural language processing laboratory in Hebrew operates! Alongside the advanced teaching and research in the STEM fields, the university nurtures the leadership of the next generation in the Jewish world. The Faculty of Jewish Sciences at the university is not only the largest in its field in the world, but also one of the most active, original, profound and fruitful. All of this is now happening in the shadow of the hostilities of October 2023 and the multi- front war in which thousands of students and reservists are participating, whose success we are committed to, and for whom the university has established an envelope of academic, financial and emotional support. The challenges are indeed enormous, but we know: the academy is the critical engine of growth, it is the horizon and the optimistic future of the State of Israel. And we will continue, even more so.
