³Ô¹ÏÍø-Israel Institute
The ³Ô¹ÏÍø Israel Institute (FII) is a public organization that was created by the ³Ô¹ÏÍø Legislature and is administered jointly by ³Ô¹ÏÍø and Broward College. Its primary purpose is to promote the development of enhanced governmental, economic, technological, cultural, educational and social ties between the State of ³Ô¹ÏÍø and the State of Israel.
This mission is achieved through the formation of cooperative initiatives in research, academic development, student and faculty exchange, cultural exchange, and technical assistance between ³Ô¹ÏÍø and Israeli institutions of higher learning as well as private sector commercial endeavors.
The Institute acts as a facilitator forging collaborative efforts between Israel’s world renowned academic institutions and Israel’s highly innovative hi-tech industry with ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s higher-education institutions and ³Ô¹ÏÍø industry in areas essential to both states.
FII shall seek to co-sponsor visits from Israeli cultural artists, sponsor a monthly Israeli film series, invite Israeli faculty for academic collaboration, facilitate research initiatives, award legislature-approved tuition waivers, develop study abroad programs in Israel for ³Ô¹ÏÍø college and university students, and facilitate academic and other (e.g., business, technological) delegations to Israel.
