Academic Structure

The Daniel Sieff Research Institute

 

From the original department – organic chemistry – the Weizmann Institute has grown to encompass all the natural and exact sciences. The departments, and the research groups in them, are purposely kept to human dimensions, which encourages scientists to cross their boundaries – both to engage in cross-departmental research and to forge paths to new areas of scientific exploration.
