In 1902, three prominent Jewish biologists established the Biologische Versuchsanstalt (BVA) in then Austro-Hungarian Vienna. Now, an international team led by Tel Aviv University’s Prof. Oded Rechavi has been awarded a $1.2 million grant by the prestigious Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) to follow in their footsteps. HFSP is known for its highly competitive selection process, approving only 4% of proposals submitted each year, and indeed the team’s project is truly exceptional, both scientifically and historically.

Archaeologists from the University of Liège (Belgium) are conducting a new excavation campaign at the Palaeolithic site of Trou Al'Wesse in Modave. This exceptional site provides valuable information about the settlement of the first Homo sapiens populations in north-western Europe around 40,000 years ago. It is also an opportunity for archaeology students to gain practical experience in the field.

The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER, President Yi, Chang-Keun) hosted the 4th Korea-Canada Battery R&D Workshop in Montreal, Canada, over two days on Tuesday, July 29 and Wednesday, July 30, 2025.
