About

The Chorafass Institute for Scientific Exchange (WIS-CISE) is a competitive support program aimed at providing substantial support for international conferences, workshops and graduate schools of less than 100 participants. A principal aim is to familiarize non-Israeli students, postdocs and faculty participating in such events with WIS research landscape and facilities.

The annual Weizmann Memorial Lectures program is the most prestigious lecture series offered at the Weizmann Institute. It commemorates the name of the founder of the Institute, Dr. Chaim Weizmann.

The Visiting Professorships program of the Weizmann Institute is open to suitable candidates from all countries. These positions are intended for outstanding scientists from research institutes and other institutions of higher learning, who have achieved appropriate recognition in their fields of activity and who hold the rank of (full) Professor (or the equivalent) in their home institutions or recently tenured or tenure track Faculty from abroad.
 

The Kimmel Award is a distinction to be bestowed annually on one Weizmann Institute researcher. The award consists of a substantial research grant (usually $1 million allocated as $200,000 annually over a five year period) and is intended for a researcher who is in the forefront of leadership in the area of research. The recipient of the award should be someone who in addition to significant past achievements should be in a position to reach new heights of scientific achievement in the broad area of research within the coming five year period as well as to provide scientific leadership to a group of younger investigators.
