Jerusalem, 26 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is supporting “unique” academic courses in the Arava (the valley that runs south from the Dead Sea down to Eilat) to develop innovation and sustainability in energy.
Students from leading universities in Israel will participate in courses combining policy and technology in the fields of renewable energies, as part of strengthening the Arava as a national center for sustainable innovation.
The courses combine the fields of economics, philosophy, economics and public policy (EPP), engineering and public policy, and are designed to provide knowledge and practical tools for developing sustainable regions, promoting innovation in the energy sector, and creating growth engines in a sustainable economy, while closely connecting academic knowledge with fieldwork.
During the courses, participants will be exposed to leading companies operating in the renewable energy market, active projects and initiatives in development stages, as well as the activities of local and regional authorities working to promote socio-economic development based on sustainability. Special emphasis is given to the importance of collaboration between the public sector, academia and industry, as a basis for implementing national energy and climate policy.
