MIT-Israel Program

MISTI has expanded its portfolio with the launch of a new exciting internship and research exchange program with Israel.

Israel is a world leader in technology, having developed such diverse products as the first anti-virus package, technologies that allow you to leave voice mail on mobile phones, and stents that save lives by keeping open arteries to the heart.

MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI) is an innovative, cross-disciplinary program whose goal is to internationalize MIT education and research in order to prepare MIT students and faculty for leadership in careers that go beyond national boundaries by pursuing and utilizing cutting-edge knowledge from around the world.

The MIT-Israel Program facilitates dynamic connections between the thinkers and idea-makers of the MIT community and their counterparts in Israel. Drawing from an extraordinary network of renowned research institutes, universities, and corporations, the MIT-Israel Program aims to be as innovative and multifaceted as the country it represents.
