The Free State of Saxony has doubled its funding for an exchange program with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. A total of 30,000 euros is now available for the program instead of 15,000 euros, the Saxon Ministry of Culture announced in Dresden on Wednesday. Among other things, this is intended to strengthen bilateral relations with Israel. In addition, the program is to be opened up in terms of content and participants, so that in future interested parties from all fields of study and universities of applied sciences (HAW) can apply to participate.
The Chemnitz University of Technology has been coordinating an exchange program for Saxon students and academics with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem since 1999. Since then, around four to eight students have been sponsored each year, enabling them to spend up to three months studying in Israel.
