Weizmann Institute of Science agree Read & Publish deal with Royal Society of Chemistry
We have agreed a new Read & Publish deal with the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Israel. The agreement is for an initial one-year pilot, with the opportunity to extend in future.
Royal Society of Chemistry Director of Sales & Marketing, Stephen Rumbelow, welcomed the news, saying: We are proud that the Weizmann Institute of Science have chosen to join our growing Read & Publish community, with over 140 customers from 20 countries now adopting such agreements with the Royal Society of Chemistry. Scientific endeavour knows no borders, so this agreement means we can continue to build on our long-standing relationship with the Israeli research community.

Strathclyde University is the UK participant in DEEPER (Deep Brain Photonic Tools for Cell-Type Specific Targeting of Neural Diseases), which is investigating the deep-brain alterations underlying the origin of neurological and psychiatric diseases such as dementia, depression, addiction, schizophrenia and chronic pain.
The four-year study involves 12 partners in eight countries, coordinated by Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), and has received funding of approximately €5.7m from the European Union via the Horizon 2020 programme.
We are diplomats, representatives of our nations and agents of warming ties between the UAE and Israel. We believe in the power of our profession, that building trust through open and direct ties, combined with bold political leadership, can produce regional transformations.
Over these recent weeks, we now meet and talk often. Our conversations focus on growing economic ties, trade and tourism, health and educational exchanges and deepening people-to-people contacts. We facilitate and update each other on the near-daily announcements of new agreements between our universities, research institutes, start-ups and medical centres. Just last week, we recognised the joint partnership between the Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and the Weizmann Institute of Science. We celebrated together the UAE space probe’s successful arrival at Mars and wondered about future Israeli-Emirati space co-operation and missions.
