The institution and its staff are striving to achieve even higher standards but need your support as our constituents and stakeholders to do this.

TAU has also set a goal to create a better and healthier world, investing significant resources into building new laboratories, recruiting young researchers from top institutions such as Harvard and the NIH, and awarding fellowships to its most talented master’s and doctoral students.  

TAU is also a leader in narrowing the gap between rich and poor in Israel by providing social programs that give qualified students from disadvantaged backgrounds the financial and academic support to succeed. Canadian Friends of Tel Aviv University is committed to assisting TAU with its goals.
