A Window into the Future
The Davidson Institute International science club for those passionate about science
Windows offers young scientists a unique opportunity to delve into the world of scientific research and discovery by meeting and engaging with scientists and interacting with their peers throughout the world in an open, respectful, and creative environment. Students discuss fascinating ideas and concepts in a variety of fields, asking questions that trigger curiosity and pave the way for future scientific discovery. This international club has participants from different countries, communicating with one another both within online meetings, and through a Discord server (a popular online gaming platform) which is the platform for our club. The platform functions as the international meeting place where participants communicate off-hours and discuss their interests, and experiences in a scientifically fact based, respectful, open-minded atmosphere, that welcomes diverse ideas and views.
The Windows international club online sessions are conducted monthly in English and explore the cutting-edge scientific research of the Weizmann Institute, debate ethical questions in science, and discuss career-related life choices of scientists.
