The Israel National Research Council (NRC)
Israel’s Academy-inspired “Proposed Law for a National Council for Civilian Research and Development (R&D)," after a lengthy period of incubation, was submitted to Israel’s Knesset for second and third readings and passed, without objections, on November 11, 2002.
The new 15-person NRC will advise the government on formulating national R&D-related policy.
