Welcome to the Technion Family!

The Technion hosted a festive evening in honor of the 18 new researchers who recently joined the academic faculty. “You have joined an institution whose legacy spans more than 100 years,” said Technion President Professor Uri Sivan. “In its first decades, the Technion laid the foundations for the establishment of the State of Israel, and its national and social mission has always been our guiding light. I recently attended a ceremony for retired Technion employees and now I am speaking to you at a welcoming event for new faculty members. These two extremes illustrate the Technion’s role as a link in the historical chain – a chain that has always had an impact on, and continues to impact, the State of Israel and all of humanity. You were accepted thanks to your outstanding abilities and we anticipate that this excellence will be manifested in your research, in the education of our students, and on campus life. I wish you much success.”

“Congratulations on joining the Technion,” said Professor Naama Brenner, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. “I hope you will view the Technion as your home and wish you success in all your research and teaching endeavors.”
