TECHNION FOCUS MAGAZINE – Technion to lead Israeli Center of Research Excellence in Energy

The Council of Higher Education announced that the fourth center to be named in the I-CORE (Israeli Centers of Research Excellence) framework is to be headed by Prof. Gideon Grader, director of the Grand Technion Energy Program (GTEP), and it will serve as a Center of Excellence in Alternative Energies. This initiative incorporates 27 researchers at Technion, Weizmann Institute, and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and will act as an Israeli consortium for solar-based fuels. The center, chosen by an international committee, is slated to enlist at least three new researchers in the coming year, returning to Israel from Harvard, University of Michigan, and University of Strasbourg.
