The Ministry of Science initiates cooperation, with senior business sector officials, to promote and strengthen awareness of science among the public
The Ministry of Science and Technology initiated a 'Science Dialogue' meeting in the format of a round table with the senior executives of the business sector in Israel. The meeting took place on Wednesday, December 21, 2005, in Tel Aviv, in the presence of senior representatives from leading companies in the economy, such as Intel, Microsoft, Amdocs, Hot, Applied Materials, Motorola, YES, Raphael, Al-Op and more.
The director general of the ministry, Mr. David Leffler, presented the purpose of the meeting as examining ways to cooperate and pool resources in the field of science and the community. One of the goals of the Ministry of Science and Technology is to raise awareness of science and technology among the public, and in particular among children and youth, in order to nurture human capital and encourage them to choose science and technology as a future occupation. At the meeting, the companies were invited to present their activities in the field, and to formulate, in cooperation with the Ministry of Science and Technology, possible ways for cooperation on the subject.
In summing up, David Lefler committed to work to institutionalize cooperation and form an inter-ministerial steering team that would enable a national pooling of resources.
The meeting was also attended by the chief scientist of the office, Prof. Mina Teicher, who will soon be the acting CEO, David Leffler, who is going on vacation for several weeks.
