The Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel holds its International Summer Science Institute (ISSI) for high school graduates again in July. This brings together over 80 students from around the world. This year the prestigious student program will be held over the month of July and Weizmann Australia is pleased to offer two places for Australian students, thanks to the generosity of the Trawalla Foundation, supporting the program again this year.
Last year we sent Cherry Zheng and Matthew Goh to Israel and you can read their story here.
