Science, Identity, and Practical Tools for First-Generation Students(In Hebrew)
The Diversity & Inclusion Office at the Weizmann Institute of Science is committed to fostering an open, just, and diverse scientific community—where everyone feels they belong.
The office works to promote greater diversity among the Institute’s students and staff, including Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jews, Arab society, Ethiopian Israelis, and individuals from socioeconomically marginalized groups.
In addition to providing personal support to students from minority and marginalized backgrounds throughout their academic journey, the office promotes equity, fairness, and a respectful environment for all. It also facilitates conflict resolution processes and works closely with the Institute’s LGBTQ+ student alliance.
The office’s vision is to foster a scientific community in which every student, scientist, and researcher feels a true sense of belonging
Awareness and inclusion are part of everyday practice. Taking ethnic holidays and international observances into account helps foster a respectful and inclusive environment for staff and community members. Being mindful of these dates when scheduling events can contribute to a sense of belonging for everyone.
