Research Program

The Arava Institute's mission goes beyond training and teaching to include research on a range of environmental matters and problems. Projects tend to be interdisciplinary in nature involving social and natural sciences that impinge on a range of environmental issues. While faculty and students have complete autonomy regarding their research agenda, the Institute encourages applied initiatives with the ability to improve the quality of decision-making in environmental matters.

The Research Program is divided into self-supporting projects that are headed by a faculty member with teams of research fellows providing critical support in a number of areas. When possible, students are encouraged to participate in ongoing research initiatives.

Since the Research Program was initiated in 1999, the Arava Institute has received grants in excess of 12 million shekels from a range of local and international funding institutions
