Dear Students and Postdocs,
Considering the escalating security situation, we would like to share several important updates:
As communicated in the latest WIS announcement, WIS is working in an emergency mode, and all classes and other activities are currently suspended until further notice.
International students and postdocs who are currently abroad on academic trip will receive support (in line with WIS regulations) and are required to contact the head of the international office, Mrs Aileen Halbershtat. Similarly Israeli students and postdocs on academic trip who are stranded abroad and require support should contact Mrs Dana Yanay the head of administration of WSoS.
We invite you to Zoom meetings to address any questions you have and provide further information:
• International students and postdocs: Sunday, June 15, at 15:00 (Israel time), https://weizmann.zoom.us/j/94924122239?pwd=jxpyd8dSLYcbRmrJZZ1t3bh2p1ld1I.1
