“Students’ global engagement is a key experience enabling them to grow both in their course of study and in their leadership skills,” says MIT-Israel Faculty Director Eran Ben-Joseph. “The Covid-19 pandemic is challenging us all and changed our students’ Israel plans.”
MIT-Israel is a part of MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI), an experiential program that connects MIT to the global community. MISTI provides students and faculty opportunities to participate in research, teaching, and work opportunities worldwide. In a typical year, MIT-Israel sends over 100 students to Israel and supports up to 15 faculty projects, as outlined in their 2019-20 annual report.
