Ramon Foundation Partners with ISEF
Capt. Ilan Ramon z"l (R) and son Capt. Assaf Ramon z"l
The Ramon Foundation was founded in loving memory of Israel’s first astronaut, Colonel Ilan Ramon z”l, and of his son,
Captain Assaf Ramon z”l.
In 2011-2012, the ISEF Foundation is launching a new partnership with the Ramon Foundation and Israel’s Ministry of Science and Technology,
to link the advancement of science and technology with the betterment of Israeli society.
This partnership will provide scholarship support to 18 Israeli PhD students making groundbreaking strides in their research. The aim is to instill leadership skills and a strong sense of social responsibility, thereby contributing to the development of top-notch researchers and scientists in Israel who will also be active citizens in their community.
The inauguration of this program was celebrated with a special ceremony attended by Ramon Foundation Chairwoman Rona Ramon and Executive Director Dalit Laufer, who met with the 18 scholarship recipients to present them with gifts and personal congratulations.
International Fellow Dr. Itsik Francis (above left, with former ISEF Chair Norman Belmonte) shared this, from two new ISEF supporters:
"They said they had never seen a foundation that behaves like a family. with such warm feeling. Perhaps we should change ISEF to 'International Sephardic Education Family'?”
