Welcome Governors!

Dear Governors and Friends,

The 2025 Tel Aviv University Board of Governors MeetingMay 18-25, 2025, will be a significant moment for us to stand strong, uplift each other and set a path forward.

We will gather, driven by a shared commitment to advancing research, education, and a brighter future for the State of Israel. Last year’s program left us inspired—meeting courageous soldiers, seeing firsthand the pioneering work of TAU researchers, and visiting communities near Gaza. This year’s agenda has been thoughtfully crafted to renew our shared vision and deepen our impact.

Join us for exclusive sessions designed to provide fresh perspectives on Israel’s challenges and triumphs, including:

  • Honorary Degrees Conferment Ceremony, featuring journalist Thomas Friedman, Nobel laureate Andrea Ghez, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and other distinguished honorees.
  • Framing Israel: How the Media Shapes Global Perceptions.
  • A Greener Future: An Experiential Journey into Environmental Innovation.
  • The Middle East: Future Prospects for Israel Amid Regional Conflict.

With an engaging mix of discussions, immersive experiences, and meaningful gatherings, this year’s meeting promises to both inform and inspire. Please keep in mind that the program may evolve as we finalize the details.

So, are you optimistic? We look forward to welcoming you soon in Tel Aviv.
