In fact, it is this mission, along with the university's intrinsic connection to Jewish values, that distinguish it so completely from other universities around the world. The Harry S Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace has been at the forefront of Israeli institutions in sponsoring joint research projects with Palestinian scholars and other research for peace around the world. Our University is located in Jerusalem, a city holy to three world religions. This character of Jerusalem is reflected on the University campus. Tolerance and collaboration are crucial steps in maintaining peace.
Every effort is made to encourage collaborative efforts between Palestinian and Israeli professors.
