Who We Are

The new School of the Environment at Tel Aviv University is an academic platform dedicated entirely to environmental issues and is based on a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach.
The school was established in response to the growing need for knowledge, research, and training of experts and researchers in a variety of environmental fields. It offers study and research programs for graduate students that allow in-depth study of a selection of burning contemporary topics. The new school's interdisciplinary approach to the environment allows for a cross-fertilizing meeting between the natural and exact sciences and fields belonging to the humanities and social sciences. The combination of environmental aspects in the various disciplines produces new fields of research and knowledge, which feed the transformation of thinking that is taking place today, in Israel and in the whole world.
As part of its overall vision, the school seeks to bring academic knowledge on environmental issues outside the walls of the academy to places where it is most needed—in the national and local government, the legal system, the education system, industry, business companies, and public institutions. To this end, the school maintains relationships and collaborations with many bodies in the public and private sectors, alongside environmental organizations and research institutions in Israel and around the world.
