Dear University Community,
We are now at the beginning of the second week of the war, amid continuous alerts and sirens, frequent stays in safe rooms and shelters, many members of our community called up for reserve duty, and others remaining at home with their children while the education system is closed. We hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well.
Dear Members of the University Research Community,
Please find attached a call for proposals from the Innovation Authority to support artificial intelligence research requiring substantial computing resources.
Dear academic and administrative staff members,
With the conclusion of the first semester, we would like to update you on a number of current topics and programs.
1. New members and faculty members. So far, we have taken on 42 new researchers for the 2025–2026 academic year. We would like to welcome the new members of our academic staff, who should feel free to contact us with any questions or issues they may have.
Dear academic and administrative staff, students, and members of our community,
Next week, we will mark the Awareness Week for the Prevention of Sexual Harassment in Academia and at the Hebrew University.
This week is an opportunity for us to strengthen the sense of safety in our daily learning, research, and work environments. It also allows us to become more familiar with our rights and the resources available to us, and to create space for open, respectful dialogue about boundaries, responsibility, and a culture of equality.
Dear Faculty Members,
A few days ago, an anonymous website appeared online containing a list of Israeli researchers. The site included threats and suggestions of harm against those listed. Once discovered, access to the site was blocked throughout the country.
Dear Faculty Members,
We hope that the announcement marking the end of the war signals the beginning of a gradual return to the academic routine we experienced in the past. We are already seeing a decline in the number of students called up for reserve duty, and we hope this trend continues.
At the same time, it is clear that many students will continue to serve lengthy reserve-duty periods this year. With the return to campus, we are also encountering many students who have served hundreds of days in various roles.
Dear faculty members,
The HUJI Taskforce for Academic Freedom and Cooperation is continuing its work: documentation and follow up of cases of academic boycott, assistance and consultance re: coping with academic boycott and mistreatment of Israeli faculty and students, answers to frequently asked questions and criticism of Hebrew University, and more, and is here to help and assist if needed.
Despite the many challenges, our joint efforts often yield positive results.
