University of Haifa and the Technion are launching a joint archaeology research fund that will encourage scientific collaborations between faculty members, and offer scholarships for doctoral and postdoctoral students at both institutes. The signing comes on the heels of UofH establishing the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures (SAMC), which will revolutionize archaeological research in Israel through a vigorous commitment to interdisciplinary research and emerging technologies. Rector Gur Alroey, Prof. Israel Finkelstein (Head, SAMC) and the School’s department heads were joined by Prof. Oded Rabinovitch (Senior Executive Vice President, Technion) and additional academic leaders from the Technion at the signing ceremony.
The School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures offers a vibrant research program that addresses the most current challenges in archaeology. This new strategic partnership with the Technion will further enhance an already strong field at the University, and open up possibilities for transformative discoveries. – Prof. Gur Alroey, Rector
