Prof. Iris Shai
Dean’s Welcome Message
We warmly welcome you to the School of Sustainability at Reichman University - a bold and wise choice to engage in one of the most impactful fields shaping the future of humanity.
The coming decades will be defined by two powerful forces: the climate crisis and the artificial intelligence revolution. The convergence of these forces is not merely a challenge - it is an unprecedented opportunity. Together, they form the most dynamic growth frontier in the world today: the fusion of science, technology, and visionary thinking that is redefining the global economy, the job market, and the health of both people and planet in the 21st century. Sustainability is more than a profession - it is the profession of the future, your gateway to the forefront of innovation and global impact.
In a world where Israel and the international community are facing constant change and existential challenges, Reichman University continues to stand as a beacon of excellence, creativity, and leadership. Here, a unique community of students, researchers, and entrepreneurs comes together to develop innovative solutions that make a lasting impact on society and the economy.
Our graduates hold influential positions across diverse sectors: some advance national and international regulation and policy, others lead technological initiatives in the private and public sectors, while some pursue pioneering academic and research careers. What unites them all is their ability to combine deep knowledge with social responsibility and entrepreneurial courage - turning ideas into reality.
Throughout your studies, you will learn from leading academics in their fields and embark on an intellectual and personal journey that will challenge you, broaden your horizons, and equip you with the tools to drive real change.
On behalf of the entire faculty, I wish you a meaningful, productive, and inspiring academic year.
We are committed to your success - today, in the years ahead, and along the journey before you.
Welcome to our community.
