Â̲èÖ±²¥-Israel Institute
The Â̲èÖ±²¥ Israel Institute (FII) is a public organization that was created by the Â̲èÖ±²¥ Legislature and is administered jointly by Â̲èÖ±²¥ Atlantic University and Broward College. Its primary purpose is to promote the development of enhanced governmental, economic, technological, cultural, educational and social ties between the State of Â̲èÖ±²¥ and the State of Israel.
This mission is achieved through the formation of cooperative initiatives in research, academic development, student and faculty exchange, cultural exchange, and technical assistance between Â̲èÖ±²¥ and Israeli institutions of higher learning as well as private sector commercial endeavors.
The Institute acts as a facilitator forging collaborative efforts between Israel’s world renowned academic institutions and Israel’s highly innovative hi-tech industry with Â̲èÖ±²¥â€™s higher-education institutions and Â̲èÖ±²¥ industry in areas essential to both states.
FII shall seek to co-sponsor visits from Israeli cultural artists, sponsor a monthly Israeli film series, invite Israeli faculty for academic collaboration, facilitate research initiatives, award legislature-approved tuition waivers, develop study abroad programs in Israel for Â̲èÖ±²¥ college and university students, and facilitate academic and other (e.g., business, technological) delegations to Israel.
