     Bar-Ilan University, founded in 1955, is one of Israel's
     leading institutions of higher education, uniquely
     combining cutting-edge scientific research with
     education steeped in Jewish values and social
     responsibility. From 70 students to close to 19,000,
     its milestone achievements in the sciences and
     humanities and all fields of human endeavor have
     made an indelible imprint on the landscape of the
     State of Israel.
     The university has nine faculties: Jewish Studies,
     Medicine, Engineering, Law, Life Sciences, Exact
     Sciences, Social Sciences, Education, and Humanities.
     These faculties are active partners in Israel's national
     science and technology initiatives. Seeking “Impact

     driven research centers which embrace practical

     body includes both secular and religious; Jews
     and non-Jews; as well as new immigrants and
     international visitors. Some 1,000 students from
     more than 30 countries attend Bar-Ilan, which offers
     a unique atmosphere for open exchange of ideas and
     embracement of the "other." Diversity is key on the
     BIU campus, and tolerance and civility our operating
     code.
