WHY support the WEIZMANN Institute of Science?

Give a gift for tomorrow…

• Weizmann Science is Basic Science: With basic research at the core of their efforts, Weizmann scientists can investigate the most difficult challenges facing humanity. Yet, no artificial separation exists between pure and applied
science at the Institute. Curiosity, creativity and serendipity flourish. Basic science gives researchers the freedom to explore the unknown in an environment free of commercial or academic constraints. Basic science has proven itself to be the wellspring for most of the world’s notable scientific breakthroughs.

• Weizmann Science is Interdisciplinary Science: There are no boundaries between scientific disciplines at the Institute. Multiple points of view are brought to the same labs. Biologists work with chemists, physicists work with mathematicians. This free-ranging intellectual environment is especially condusive to solving complex issues of the modern world.

• A Gift to Weizmann is a Gift to Israel: The Weizmann Institute is a major force driving Israel’s high-tech and biotechnology industries. The Institute, through its technology transfer arm, has brought hundreds of products to the global market — many produced in Israel — generating billions of dollars in revenue for the country. Israeli companies that produce Weizmann innovations employ thousands of people, including new immigrants. Weizmann established Israel’s first high-tech park in the 1960s, and has inspired the creation of several more.

•Weizmann Science Benefits Millions: With one gift to the Weizmann Institute, you are supporting the work of scientists who, among other achievements, have already: saved countless lives by discovering new drugs and treatments; improved the quality of the world’s air and water through progress in environmental science; created
advanced technologies found in our homes and offices; and alleviated hunger worldwide by providing farmers with innovative agricultural techniques. In short, Weizmann scientists serve all humanity and provide us with reasons to hope and dream.
