Introduction

 

This project focuses its attention on 2 main aims: structure a more institutional and comprehensive cooperation with Israeli HEIs (namely Tel-Hai College THC, Bar-Ilan University BIU,
Hebrew University of Jerusalem HUJ and Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design BAAD) and strengthen the partnership
already set during the KA107/20 with UNICAM main Jordanian partner (Applied Science Private University ASU).

 
THC is a leading HEI in the Galilee region (Northern Israel), encouraging knowledge and human capital development,
excellence, entrepreneurship, and innovation, and acting as a driver for the whole Israeli society development. Academic

cooperation between UNICAM and THC started more than 8 years ago. In addition to overall objectives such as the increase of institutions’ internationalization, the project will wider research and didactic cooperation in the field of nutrition and ageing. These field are in fact one of the topics of the future considering the population ageing of both Countries (and of the EU in general). 

 
BIU, founded in 1955, is one of Israel's leading HEIs, uniquely combining cutting-edge scientific research with education steeped in Jewish values and social responsibility. BIU is collaborating with over 90 HEIs across 26 EU countries, even in the framework of E+ Programme. The cooperation within the KA171 aligns closely with the strategic research goals of both institutions, particularly in the fields of genomics, gene expression in the immune system, health and disease, molecular biology, and nutrigenomics, under the lent
of a strong and shared commitment to holistic healthcare research. 
 
HUJI is Israel’s top HEI, ranked among the world’s 100 leading universities. With its 315 academic departments, HUJI is a leader in bringing about change in the
global community, through its groundbreaking research in fields such as agriculture, environmental quality, and public
health. HUJI shares common fields of didactic and research with UNICAM, namely genomics and bioinformatics, biotechnology, sciences, veterinary, pharmacy, and law. The
academic cooperation between UNICAM and HUJI started in 2016 in the field of nutrigenomics and continued with professors’ exchanges on common research topics. Now the 2 HEIs want to make a step further structuring an Institutional cooperation that embraces both Biosciences and Pharmacy areas.
 
BAAD, established in 1906, is known for its excellence in educating and enriching generations of aspiring artists, designers and architects; and for inspiring original thought, furthering tolerance and for promoting freedom of expression and creative liberty that expand cultural horizons and impact conventional beliefs. The academic relationship between BAAD and UNICAM started in 2004. Over the years the cooperation has been maintained with a focus on ecological products’ development, energy saving, circular design and safety projects in case of environmental risk. This project will create a permanent bridge between BAAD and UNICAM School of Architecture and Design, allowing the deepening of common research on the topics listed above.
 
ASU, founded in 1989, has rapidly risen to be one of the top HEIs in the Middle East. ASU’s Faculty of Pharmacy holds a strong position in the Country, being the first, and still the unique, in obtaining the Quality Assurance Certificate in Education, Scientific Research and Community Service - Golden Level. The KA107/20 project carried out by UNICAM and
ASU was the natural evolution of a well-established research collaboration between academics from both Partnered faculties of pharmacy. Building on both the previous project results and the problems encountered, the present proposal will widen the cooperation approach of the 2 partners. Finally, the present application will involve other scientific areas (Chemistry and Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics) that will be the object of the new-opening ASU’s master degrees
