Gershon Kekst
Chairman, Board of Governors

Chairman's Message

The Weizmann Institute has begun the second half of its first century and, as they say: "All systems are go."

Supporters, donors, and members of the worldwide Weizmann Institute family can be proud of the part they have played over the years in ensuring a solid foundation upon which future generations will build as they continue to conduct cutting edge research.

There is no substitute for a visit to the campus to vividly and dramatically bring to life the Weizmann Institute and all of its great potential, but this Annual Report offers at last a glimpse of what is being accomplished. I hope that through it you will sense the excitement that pervades our institution about the scientific opportunities and challenges that still lie ahead.
