Bulletin of the Israeli Academic Center in Cairo
In
1982, following the Israel-Egypt peace treaty signed three years
earlier, the Academy established the Israeli Academic Center in Cairo,
an initiative of Israeli universities and the Israel Oriental Society,
in a bid to advance bi-national cultural and academic ties.
The
Academy is responsible for the Center’s operation, which is financially
supported by the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) of Israel’s
Council for Higher Education.
The
Center’s primary mission is to strengthen connections between
universities and scholars in Egypt and Israel, assist scholars from each
country to access sources in the other, and foster joint research. It
offers Egyptian scholars and students, mainly in the fields of Hebrew
language and literature and Judaic studies, use of its library and
lectures by Israeli academics and is a point of contact for Israeli
researchers of Arab and Egyptian history and culture. The library is
being continuously expanded by the Center’s staff. Researchers from both
countries have also received scholarships to enable visits to the other
country.
Great
efforts have been invested to keep the Center operational regardless of
the region’s current tumultuous political climate.
