About Technion Australia

Who we are

Technion Australia is part of a worldwide family of Technion Societies which promote and support the important work Technion researchers and faculty members conduct. Technion Australia promotes research collaboration with local universities and research facilities, student exchange and fundraising for scholarships, as well as research and infrastructure.

We exist to facilitate and support the Technion in its vision to be a science and technology research university, among the world’s top ten, dedicated to the creation of knowledge and the development of human capital and leadership, for the advancement of the State of Israel and all humanity. We aim to help the Technion continue to be at the centre of innovation, entrepreneurship and excellence in technical education, producing leaders with strong professional ethics who are sensitive to social and environmental issues.

And of course, we aim to establish a lasting relationship between the Australian community and the Technion.
