Greetings from Our Chairman

IMPACT

If you've ever wondered whether TAU is being recognized on the world stage, here's your answer:

A new project to benchmark the research impact of the world's top 500 universities puts Tel Aviv University at #94.

See for yourself — TAU is independently ranked as having the greatest research impact of any university in Israel and the entire Middle East.

That's impact by any definition — thanks to you. With your generous support, TAU scientists break new ground with remarkable frequency.

A new way to combat drug-resistant superbugs. An organic light source to green TVs. A "brain atlas." And that's just part of this month's research news.

Please make a gift today. Continue to support the influential research that's shaping — and expanding — our world.
