Science that shaped a nation

Dr. Chaim Weizmann dreamed of a place where scientists could pursue questions without limits. In 1934, he brought that vision to life by founding the Daniel Sieff Research Institute, later renamed the Weizmann Institute of Science.

Dr. Weizmann believed scientific discovery should grow alongside a new nation. As he practiced innovation in his lab and built Israel's future scientific community, he planted the seeds for the nation's freethinking spirit. His legacy lives on in every breakthrough our researchers achieve today.
