The current rector and designated president of the University of Haifa, Prof. Dr. Gur Alroey, as well as Prof. Dr. Tally Katz-Gerro, professor of sociology and head of the global engagement division, visited Freie Universität Berlin in May. The University of Haifa is in a special position in Israel as 44% of their students are not Jewish. In a conversation with Prof. Dr. Günter M. Ziegler it was discussed how to strengthen cooperation and how students, researchers and staff of different heritage on the Campus in Haifa can work together peacefully even in times of conflict. Not long ago, Prof. Dr. Mouna Maroun was elected as successor of Prof. Alroey as a rector from October 2024 onwards. That makes her the first person with Arabic heritage in such a position in Israel.
