More Information »» The Minerva-Program Exchanges and research cooperation between German and Israeli scientists are the central pillars of the Minerva Program. For over forty years, scientists and researchers have been participating in exchanges, a fact that has played a significant role in reconciling the two countries in as much as this is historically possible. Ultimately, the cooperation is a key component for mutual endeavors. Our goal is to introduce the Minerva Program to German and Israeli scientists, researchers and to a broader section of the interested general public to deepen and expand existing cooperative efforts. We hope that the Minerva Program will facilitate greater interest in programs that support junior scientists and researchers such as Minerva Fellowships, Minerva Short-term Research Grants, Minerva Schools, Minerva Gentner Symposia, and Minerva Junior Scientist Groups. By promoting junior scientists and researchers in Germany and Israel, Minerva intends to build bridges between the two countries and facilitate the exchange of research. Presentations of individual Minerva Centers aim at generating more interest in Germany and Israel for cooperation in innovative and promising research areas.
