A Conversation with the President of Afeka Academic College of Engineering in Tel Aviv

Join us for a lecture and Q&A session with Professor Yossi Rosenwaks, Ph.D., an internationally
recognized nanotechnology scholar and the President of Afeka College in Tel Aviv. Professor
Rosenwaks will discuss the following
topics:
How October 7th and the ensuing wars, including Israel's recent wars with Iran, have impacted engineering academia in Israel.
How Afeka College is working to decrease the shortage of engineers in Israel and to support Afeka students who are IDF reservists.
How Israel has positioned itself as a global leader in nanotechnology innovation.
Professor Yossi Rosenwaks serves as the fourth President of Afeka Academic College of Engineering in
