The University was awarded a $7 million grant from the prestigious Helmsley Charitable Trust to establish the Helmsley Mediterranean Sea Research Center, a field that was recently thrust into the spotlight following the discovery of gas off the coast of Haifa.
“The grant expresses a vote of confidence by one of the world’s leading charitable trusts in the excellence of the University of Haifa, and further emphasizes the fact that the University of Haifa leads the field of Mediterranean Sea research in Israel,” said University President Amos Shapira.
