Upon his return, Dr.Yoskovitz said that these meetings have contributed a great deal to both understanding the structure and the response to the Internationalization that takes an important place in higher education institutions, as it exists in American institutions. They've also laid the foundations for a work plan that strengthens the academia-acedemia ties between Israeli and American institutions as well as collaborations in the R&D, staff and students exchange and knowledge exchange arena.
