  • The Jerusalem Teddy Park Sundial
    The Jerusalem Teddy Park Sundial Early on a Saturday morning, two excited people are speeding in a small, light blue car, on the road to Jerusalem. They are Maty Grunberg, the artist, and Ilan Manulis, the astronomer, director of the Weitzman Institute Observatory. Ilan, being a nocturnal star gazer, grumbles and complains about the early hour, one his journal does not even have an entry for. Maty, being Maty, is sharp and awake at the break of dawn. Both greet the rising sun; it – the sun – it the reason for this trip: to take the final measurements of Maty Grunberg’s sundial sculpture. The sundial is at Teddy Park, which is now nearing its completion, in Jerusalem – the navel of the world. It stands across from the Tower of David and the Old City walls, above Hutzot Hayotzer Lane, below Mishkenot Sha'ananim, across from Mamilla Mall, as it is called these days. This is not Grunberg’s first sundial. Another sundial created by him stands in front of the New York Hall of Science, yet another tells the time in a private mansion in Ascot, England, and yet another measures sun-time in the mountains near Grenada, Spain. As any obsessed artist, Maty is intimately familiar with sun-time, and so is Ilan, being in the process of founding a new observatory on the edge of the crater in Mitzpeh Ramon, where the sky is particularly clear and starry. The latter of the two, having just woken up, says: “Maty, we have a problem”. “What is it?” The driver inquires.

We are truly happy to have this unique opportunity to host you here. As the world continues to shrink rapidly in the face of technological advancement, we at the National Union of Israeli Students believe in the power of international cooperation and its increasing importance in our everyday lives. The seminar is going to focus on innovation in the academic world and in all aspects of the student's life. We see innovation not only as developing the next big app or start up, but as developing new ideas and solutions for all aspects of life. Over the past few years, we have shifted our focus to handle three major issues: Catching the world of academia up to the modern day. While the world of academia is stagnant, the world around it is ever changing. We aspire to bring the world of academia up to date before it becomes irrelevant to the student's daily lives and future. As members of the Israeli Council for Higher Education we use our votes and our voice in order to close the gap that separates certain populations from entering the world of academia.
