The Racah Institute of Physics is a center for excellence in physics research in Israel. Every summer, we welcome a new group of undergraduates for a 1-week introduction to the areas of physics we study. If you are finishing your 2nd year of undergraduate studies, and are interested in pursuing a MSc and PhD in physics, we want you to come meet current physics faculty and students at HUJI, tour our labs, and hear about life in Jerusalem.
Warm congratulations to our faculty members:

After a successful pilot, the Faculty-Students meetings are back!
In an attempt to strengthen the connections between students and professors, last year the Racah Institute launched a pilot “Take your Professor to Lunch: Faculty-Students Meetings”.
In this series of meetings, small groups of undergrad students and professors gathered at the Physics Students Club in a relaxed and informal environment to chat over lunch on scientific and non-scientific subjects.
The Racah Institute is honored to launch this year's colloquium series on Monday, Oct. 28 at 12:00 in the Levin Hall with Prof. Tsvi Piran's talk on "The Origin of Gold (and other R-process elements)".
