The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovoth, Israel will spend almost $20 million for basic and applied research and the acquisition and improvement of equipment during the next fiscal year, it was announced here today at a meeting of the Institute’s executive council. Maurice Boukstein, chairman of the council, said the Institute has resolved to maintain the highest standards in research. He said the council also attached the highest importance to training young scientists at the Institute for its own benefit and for other academic institutions in Israel. Boukstein said the Weizmann Institute was especially interested in joint research programs with institutions of higher learning in America and Europe. He reported that a number of leading universities on both sides of the Atlantic have approached the Weizmann Institute with proposals for joint research. The Weizmann Institute derives its income from public funds such as the Jewish Agency and the Israel Government and from private contributions and research grants from other governments, foundations and individuals.
