Czech-Israeli Innovation Internships are organized by Neuron Foundation & IOCB Tech Foundation under the auspices of the Czech Embassy in Israel and the Embassy of Israel in the Czech Republic.
It's great that we managed to inspire students from a country where scientific and business thinking is so deeply rooted. Among other things, it shows that we also have excellent institutions with a significant impact.
“I’m delighted to see how our Czech-Israeli student internship program continues to grow. In the first two years, we sent Czech students to Israel, then we invited Israeli students to the Czech Republic, and this year we plan to send students both directions. Thanks to this, Czech students will have a unique opportunity to get a closer look at Israel’s innovation environment and establish connections they can build on in the future.”
I am delighted to support the 4th year of the Czech-Israeli Innovation Internship, a program dedicated to young students. My sincere thanks go to the Neuron Foundation and IOCB Tech for this opportunity. I look forward to strengthening our scientific collaboration and the continued success of this unique project.
