Enhancing productivity, sustainability, and resilience in fisheries and aquaculture
For the past five years, a fruitful research collaboration has been ongoing between Ben-Gurion University and the rehabilitation village of Adi Negev-Nahalat Eran in the fields of rehabilitation and disabilities. In light of recent events that have heavily impacted the population of the south, Adi Negev-Nahalat Eran and Ben-Gurion University have decided to quickly redirect additional resources towards research that will advance rehabilitation medicine and treatment for people with disabilities. The research will be conducted in collaboration with BGU researchers and the staff of Adi-Negev.
We are calling on researchers who are interested in contributing and excelling: 1. Do you have knowledge and technology that can be helpful?
2. Tools or treatment methods that could improve the lives of those among us living with disabilities?
3. Groundbreaking ideas that you have yet to dare to try?
