The Batsheva de Rothschild Fund was established to advance science in Israel for the people of Israel. The fund was designed to be uniquely flexible and proactive, constantly shifting areas of priority to meet the emerging needs of Israeli science. Most recently, the Batsheva de Rothschild Fund simultaneously operated three separate grant programs, simultaneously supporting seminars in cutting-edge areas of science, interdisciplinary workshops, and fellowships for leading experts from abroad to visit Israel.
