After the unprecedented success of The Israeli team for the Math Olympiad We are informed of the achievements of the Israeli team in physics as well.

The members of the Israeli physics team that represented Israel with honor are:

  • Dolev Ronan - the Israeli high school student for science and art, from Moham - won a silver medal.
  • Lior Bar Hillel - Mor Maccabim Reot High School student, from Modi'in - won a silver medal.

  • Reot Goldberg - student of the Haifa Academy of Arts, from Haifa - won a bronze medal.

The Ministry of Education and the Center for Future Scientists of the Maimonides Foundation lead the training of Israel's national teams to participate in the International Science Olympiads as part of a joint venture. The IPHO International Physics Olympiad was held this year for the 54th time (founded in 1967), Israel has been participating in the Olympiad since 1994. This year, 385 participants from 77 countries took part in the Olympiad.

The Olympiad consists of two parts, each lasting 5 hours - a theoretical exam and a laboratory exam.

The student team that participated in the Physics Olympiad was trained at the Husidman Center for Science Seeking Youth at Ben Gurion University of the Negev led by the academic director, Prof. Oleg Krichevski, the head coach, Dr. Itamar Hasson and the team of instructors (Olympiad graduates) - Eli Merrill, Aviv Tillinger, Yonatan Aharoni and more Many more who worked during the year. 

The Minister of Education, Dr. Yifat Shasha Biton: Israeli students seal an unprecedented achievement in the international Olympics and create for the State of Israel a horizon of good news and growth. The education system is a flint from the quarry of the human capital that makes up the parts of Israeli society and is the steam engine that creates the movement of its economy, science and technology. Therefore, we will strive to light the spark for our students to love science, to create for them learning processes that are intriguing and relevant to their lives. We will work to cultivate academic skills that will enable them to deal with global and complex issues in the future.

I personally congratulate each and every one of the winning students and express my pride for their impressive achievements. I also congratulate the coaches who accompanied them and worked with them night and day to succeed and reach this unprecedented achievement.

The CEO of the Future Scientists Center, Eli Fried: "The Israeli science teams continue to demonstrate high abilities in front of the teams around the world and reach impressive and proud achievements. The achievements in the Olympics are the result of determination, investment, perseverance and effort in addition to the tremendous talent the students have been blessed with."

"We are full of appreciation for these students and are convinced that they will be a significant part in shaping the future of the State of Israel and will make their mark in the various areas of life."

We will continue to work in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the academic institutions to lead the most advanced training and to provide the highest quality tools to Israeli students."  

The president of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Professor Daniel Haimowitz: "We are proud of the successes of the youth physics team guided by the excellent team of the Hosidman Science Center. The medals won by the team are nationally equivalent to the medals won these days by our best athletes at the Olympics in Japan. The youth who hang out on the Ben-Gurion University campus, with a thirst for knowledge and a curiosity to expand scientific understanding, are undoubtedly a promise for the future of research and development in Israel."

  1. I prefer such wins to medals in sports. It should open new editions and prepare articles about each winner.

  2. A. This is not due to the Ministry of Education, but the university where they were reinforced despite the Ministry of Education.
    B. The defender should invest in talents in mathematics and physics and not in athletes who disappoint every time. A waste of money.
    ..

  3. Well done. But it's amazing that nowhere is it mentioned that a few dozen participants win the gold medal, a few dozen participants win the silver, and so does the bronze. Let the public think as if our representative reached one of the first three places.
