ScienceAbroad הוא קהילה בינלאומית עבור יותר מ- 2800 חוקרים ישראלים ב300 קמפוסים ברחבי העולם. הארגון מפעיל 23 מרכזים בארה"ב, קנדה ואנגליה המנוהלים על ידי מדענים מתנדבים. הארגון מעניק כלים, מפתח קשרים ופותח דלתות למדענים ישראלים המבקשים לשוב לישראל על מנת שיביאו עימם את הידע, הכישרון, הניסיון והקשרים שצברו לאקדמיה ולתעשייה כמנוע צמיחה לישראל. משתתפים ושותפים יקרים, אנו מבקשים לברך אתכם על ההחלטה לקחת חלק בסדנת "חשיפה לתעשיית הפארמה והביוטק בישראל" המאורגנת זו השנה השנייה על ידי ScienceAbroad בחסות חברת טבע ובשיתוף פעולה עם המרכז לקליטה במדע והאגף ליזמות עסקית במשרד העליה והקליטה. הבחירה שלכם היא לרב צעד אמיץ לקראת שינוי נתיב קריירה וחשיפה להזדמנויות חדשות ופחות מוכרות. סיינס אברוד פועל מזה 12 שנה לשמירת קשר עם ישראלים בעלי תארים מתקדמים ברחבי העולם והשבת המוחות לישראל. חזוננו הוא שישראל תהא אבן שואבת לחוקרים מכל העולם ואנו מאמינים כי מינוף ומיצוב המו"פ בתעשייה בישראל לצד ניתוב מדענים למסלולי תעשייה ויזמות יכולים להביא להגשמת החזון. מנתונים מעודכנים לשנת 2017 עולה כי 11% מכלל המסיימים לימודי דוקטורט במוסדות להשכלה גבוהה בישראל, מתגוררים בחו"ל במשך למעלה משלוש שנים! עזיבת מדענים את ישראל גוררת השלכות למשק הישראלי בדמות הפסד הכנסות עתידיות מן התושבים שעזבו. בסקרים שקיימנו בשנה האחרונה מצאנו כי החסם העיקרי לחזרה לישראל הוא התעסוקה. מחד מיעוט של משרות באקדמיה ומאידך קושי להשתלב במו"פ בתעשייה בישראל בגלל חוסר ניסיון תעסוקתי בתעשייה והיצע משרות נמוך. רק 7% מבוגרי דוקטורט במדעי החיים מצליחים למצוא עבודה באקדמיה, אף שזו לרוב כוונתם. עוד 9% משתלבים בתעשיית הביוטק, כולל האגרו-טק (חדשנות בחקלאות). במערכת הבריאות (לרוב כעובדי ומנהלי מעבדות) משתלבים עוד כ14.5%-. כלומר, רק כ30%- עובדים ממש במקצוע. ( ד"ר נורית איל, מתוך מחקר של התוכנית להשבת אקדמאים) כדי להקים בישראל תעשיית מדעי חיים משגשגת שתהא אבן שואבת לאנשי מחקר ופיתוח נדרשים הון אנושי והון. וכאן אנחנו פוגשים אתכם – אתם ההון האנושי, אתם מנוע הצמיחה של ישראל! אנו מקווים שהתכנית תאפשר לכם הרחבה של הידע וההיכרות עם תעשיית מדעי החיים בישראל ובעיקר תאפשר לכם יצירת קשרים שיסייעו לכם בהשתלבות תעסוקתית בישראל. מאחלים לכם סדנא מוצלחת, נשמח לראות אתכם משתלבים בעוד תכניות של הארגון. מוניקה לב כהן, ד"ר שמוליק הס, יו"ר מנכ"לית ScienceAbroad מייסד ושותף ScienceAbroad מדענים ישראלים יקרים, ברוכים הבאים הביתה לישראל. אנו נרגשים לתת חסות לסדנת ה"חשיפה לתעשיית הפארמה והביוטק בישראל." לאורך 117 שנות קיומה צמחה חברת טבע לצידה של תעשייה מדעית ישראלית חזקה ומתקדמת. מאז ועד היום, ההון האנושי הישראלי מהווה את אחד המפתחות המשמעותיים ביותר להצלחתה וצמיחתה של תעשיית ביו-פארמה תחרותית וברת-קיימא בישראל . אנו רואים חשיבות עצומה בהשבת "מוחות ישראלים", כמוך. הכישרון, הניסיון אותו אתם מביאים והחשיפה למעבדות המחקר המובילות בעולם, יאפשרו לתעשיית הביו-פארמה הישראלית להמשיך להתפתח ולעמוד בחזית המדע. לחברת טבע יש שני מרכזי מו"פ מהגדולים בארץ, בנתניה ובכפר-סבא, המתמחים בפיתוח תרופות אינובטיביות וגנריות – כימיות וביולוגיות כאחד ונשמח לראותך משתלבים בעתיד. אנו רוצים להודות לארגון "סיינסאברוד" על היוזמה והשותפות בקיום הסדנה השבוע. בהצלחה לכולנו, איריס בק קודנר סמנכ"לית בכירה, חברת הנהלת טבע A Window to the Israeli Pharma and Biotech Industries Workshop Agenda January 13-17,2019 Day 1 – Introduction and Preclinical Development (Tel Aviv) Opening Remarks Dr. Shmuel Hess – Chairman, ScienceAbroad Ms. Iris Beck-Codner -

  • Strauss Group Sustainability Report 2020
    Strauss Group Sustainability Report 2020 GRI Content Index 1 STRAUSS GROUP 2020 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT - GRI CONTENT INDEX This is Strauss Group’s 13th sustainability report. It describes the impact of the Group’s business, social and environmental activities on its stakeholders in 2020. This report was prepared in accordance with standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): Core Option. Furthermore, the report represents the Group’s annual report to the Global Compact project of the United Nations, which it has been a member of since 2008. The information in the report refers to the 2020 calendar year. Our previous full sustainability report was published in 2020 and referred to 2019. We intend to continue to publish our sustainability report on an annual basis. In this report, we kept to the same essential framework from 2014. Based on strategic work that was carried out in 2019 and on internal verification, we found that this framework is still relevant today. The parameters of this report are unchanged – the report deals with all the companies in Strauss Group that are under our operational control, including joint ventures that are reported as full entities. No substantial retroactive amendments were made to data that was presented in previous reports. Minor adjustments that were made are indicated alongside the data as they are shown. This summary, as well as the 2020 Sustainability Report are not part of Strauss Group’s financial, immediate or periodic statements. In the event of a discrepancy between what is stated in this report and the aforementioned reports, the wording of the financial statements is the binding one.
