Founded in 1939, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique is a government-funded research organization under the administrative authority of France's Ministry of Research. Its 10 specialized institutes cover all scientific disciplines. CNRS has 22 Nobel Prize laureates, 12 Fields Medal winners and other high qualified employees. The CNRS annual budget represents one-quarter of French public spending on civilian research. CNRS is representing in the project Institut de physique théorique, a joint research unit (IPhT-UMR3681) between CEA and CNRS, the beneficiary.

CNRS (http://www.cnrs.fr/index.php) is organized in 1211 laboratories. As one of the largest fundamental research organization in Europe, CNRS is involved in all scientific fields and is largely involved in national, European, and international projects. CNRS has a long experience in the management of European projects. The organisation will provide a strong administrative support to such projects, with dedicated staff on financial, legal, and administrative issues.

The Technion is the oldest university in Israel, and the country’s largest technological institute. It has around 13,000 students, among them 1000 Ph.D students.
