Explanation:
Scientific and technological progress has been a key driver of human and social development for centuries. It has vastly expanded the limits of human potential and enabled radical transformations in the quality of life enjoyed by millions of people.
In its short history, the State of Israel has proven the powers and benefits of science and innovation with its innumerable contributions to fields such as technology, agriculture, and medicine. In just 63 years, Israel has evolved from a fledgling agricultural society to a hi-tech powerhouse, housing more start-up companies, producing more patents, and winning more Nobel prizes in science per capita than any other country in the world.
2011 proved to be another year of great scientific accomplishments for our country. In September of this year, Israel officially became a formal associate member of the Center of European Nuclear Research, known as CERN, lending the country significant prestige in the global academic and research community, despite ongoing boycott attempts of scientific cooperation with Israel.
Just a few weeks ago, we were proud to see Professor Daniel Shechtman, from the Technion Institute of Technology, win Israel's 10th Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, for his discovery of unusual patterns in atoms. This is only two years after Professor Ada Yonath from the Weizmann institute won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, becoming the first Israeli woman to receive this esteemed prize.
