5th Workshop on Israeli Solutions for Sustainable Development

Yesterday, we hosted the 5th Workshop on Israeli Solutions for Sustainable Development - Evidence-Based Action at Tel Aviv University. After months of anticipation, the event exceeded our expectations, and we are filled with gratitude for everyone who contributed.

Our event featured diverse voices from academia, NGOs, and the public and private sectors, all united in our mission to advance Israeli solutions for sustainable development. This inspiring event not only shared a wealth of knowledge and ideas but also laid the foundation for future collaborations. It sparked important conversations that we, as leaders in sustainable development, are excited to pursue.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made time in their busy schedules to attend, share your expertise, and engage so openly. Special thanks to:

Our moderators, the heartbeat of our event, for ensuring everything flowed smoothly.

Our discussants, academic leaders from various universities, for their thought-provoking questions.

Our lecturers, field leaders, for their enlightening presentations on evidence-based actions and for generously sharing their work with us in the fields of agriculture and food security, education and WASH.

Our remarkable doctoral students, and current and former research fellows, for showcasing their impactful research projects from around the globe.

Our panelists for their engaging and open discussion on the role of partnerships in evidence-based action. 

And of course, all the organizers and helpers for their invaluable contributions.

We are incredibly proud to play a role in fostering future collaborations. This is just the beginning! We look forward to continuing this exciting journey together.

Studies in developing countries are interesting and challenging at the same time. In addition to the exposure to special communities and to their unique stories, from my point of view, it is the deepest way of understanding challenges in developing countries and the approaches to solve it.
On one hand, the attempt to implement new technologies and developed methods in order to solve relevant problems, and on the other hand, the expected and the unexpected challenges which arise through mental and cultural differences. ​The studies provide tools for understanding and containment of the local community which is different from you and the creativity to solve existing problems.

Working in India is an adventure. The mission is research, and the setting is the beautiful country and culture of different states in India. Like any adventure, it's challenging in new ways, and it's rewarding in new ways too.  Fundamentally the research is applied, novel, important, and grounded firmly in extensive field research. Our Indian partners share this vision, and their achievements demonstrate their continuing excellence. In the several months Nitsan fellows spend researching in the field, they can expect to work on projects with significant impact. It's not always easy, real adventures rarely are, but it's an amazing opportunity to develop new skills, new friends, a newly broader perspective, and very high calibre research. For those who want it, I cannot recommend it enough.
