External Relations

About The External Relations Department

The External Relations Department at COLMAN is responsible for establishing relationships between academia and industry. The goal is to create a forum for long-term value-added relationships and opportunities for both industry and students. 

The External Relations Department established a forum of a few dozen of the country’s leading CEOs and as well as a forum of the industry’s leading HR managers. Each forum meets bimonthly and includes discussions with senior members of COLMAN academic staff on relevant topics, campus tours,  as well as opportunities to share new innovative academic developments, get feedback and insights from industry leaders and ultimately creating a network mutually beneficial for all parties.

A significant part of the department’s activities is to organize collaborative programs between students and industry, which include; hackathons, semester and year-long projects, student employment opportunities in leading Israeli companies as well as participation of senior industry executives in seminars, conferences and as mentors in academic projects. Students gain invaluable hands-on experience during their studies and the companies are exposed to research-based, creative and fresh new ideas. These projects often also result in companies re-evaluating themselves internally based on new and innovative thoughts and ideas from the students.
