Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Gila Gamliel has announced that the Ministry of Finance will be transferring an additional NIS 20 million to higher education institutions in Judea and Samaria. This transfer is intended to help equalize the universities in these areas with all other educational institutions in Israel, which receive funding and grants from international foundations. By providing this funding, the government aims to support the growth and development of universities in Judea and Samaria, enabling them to compete on equal footing with other institutions in the country.
This move is part of a broader effort by the government to ensure that all educational institutions in Israel have access to the necessary resources to support their research and academic endeavors. The initiative reflects the government’s commitment to promoting innovation, science, and technology across all regions of Israel. By investing in higher education institutions in Judea and Samaria, the government is helping to create new opportunities for students and researchers in these areas, while also contributing to the overall advancement of knowledge and expertise in the country.
Overall, this additional funding will help compensate for the losses experienced by research institutions in Judea and Samaria that are not included in international agreements on funding and are unable to receive grants due to their location. It will also help equalize universities in these areas with all other educational institutions in Israel, which receive funding and grants from international foundations. With this additional support, universities in Judea and Samaria will be better equipped to conduct research and provide academic programs that can compete on a global scale.
