Tsameret Einav: Managing Director

My career at the University of Haifa has helped prepare me for my role as Managing Director at the Division for Global Engagement. Over the years, I have held several distinguished positions including Managing Director of the International School, Director of the Asia Desk, and Head of Partnerships in the Division of External Affairs, gaining extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of global engagement and strategic partnerships.
Prior to working at the University of Haifa, I served as the Israel-Asia Academic Relations Manager for the Israeli Council for Higher Education (CHE), where I oversaw the promotion of student exchange programs and fostered joint research and academic collaborations between Israel, China, and India. Earlier in my career, I co-founded and managed the largest Chinese language and culture school in Israel. My academic journey includes seven years of residence in China, where I earned a Master’s degree in International Relations from Nankai University in Tianjin
