The board of trustees of the Technion is also known as the “Curatorium.” Its responsibilities include budgetary decisions, the appointment of senior administrative officials, coordination of the activities of Technion societies in Israel and abroad, oversight, and all in accordance with the Technion’s constitution. The first Curatorium of the Technion was elected on March 5, 1908. Among its representatives were David Wissotzky from Moscow and Asher Ginsburg (Ahad Ha’am) from London as representatives of the Wissotzky Company, representatives of “Ezra,” and Dr. Shmarya Levin.
