KORET-MILKEN INSTITUTE FELLOWS

	THE PROGRAM


The Koret-Milken Institute Fellows Program, established by the Koret Foundation, provides academic fellowships to Israeli graduate students, who are placed in government or parliamentary offices, and undertake economic research on small-business development, employment expansion and economic growth.


	THE MISSION


We seek to promote Israel’s economic growth through policy innovations and applied research. Our Fellows explore market-based solutions to social, environmental, economic and business policy issues. The fellows bring their training, skills and energy to support legislators and regulators as they intern at the source of decision making and policy formation in Israel. With more than 80 research deliverables and a track record of concrete impact - we are making a difference.
