Minerva Fellowship Office

Currently, there are 33 Minerva Centers running at seven research institutions in Israel. The Minerva Centers perform research in various fields and are dedicated to promoting cooperation between German and Israeli scientists in particular through joint research projects, short-term research exchanges, symposia, and workshops. The Minerva Center Committee supports the Minerva Foundation in running the program.

The incentive for establishing research centers in Israel goes back to ambitions in 1975 to set up new cooperative methods to deepen scientific contacts between the two countries. The goal was to concentrate on innovative research topics of mutual interest to both German and Israeli scientists. Mutual research is further facilitated by the financing of joint projects, symposia, and workshops as well as by reciprocal invitations and research-related visits. Cooperation with Germany and scientific excellence are the two main criteria for establishing Minerva Centers. By introducing this program, "centers of excellence" have been established over the years that have met the highest scientific standards. In Israel, there are currently 33 Minerva Centers and a Minerva Chair in the natural sciences, social sciences and in the humanities
