“The Weizmann Institute is a world-leading research institution that generates transformative knowledge and educates the scientists of tomorrow,” said Prof. Chen in his recent speech before the Annual International Board.

“Our alumni embark on careers in high-tech and biotech, and in academia, providing the foundations of Israels booming economy, just as Chaim Weizmann envisioned. As we reach the milestone of seventy years since the establishment of the Weizmann Institute, I believe its safe to say that we have indeed lived up to Chaim Weizmanns expectations. Perhaps we have even exceeded them.”
