Contact Information

The Weizmann Institute’s digital signage is an advanced platform for delivery of announcements and other information on ongoing cultural and scientific activities within the Institute via digital media (posters and videos). The platform is designed to promote end-to-end collaboration among all Weizmann Institute communities, including scientific departments, scientific education, administration and management, employees, students, visiting scientists, and other guests and visitors.

The system comprises electronic board infrastructure (namely large television screens) deployed throughout the campus, and online interfaces for control, management and updating of all platform components and published content.

Weizmann digital signage operates in a distributed manner, to provide faculty and administrative departments full autonomy with regards to content publishing and e-board management.

Electronic boards are grouped as per departmental association and location, and can be updated by authorized department representatives.
