Returning Scientists Program – RIMS – 2025

The University of Haifa is launching a new effort to bring home a rising star in the field of maritime studies to join The Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies (RIMS). What sets RIMS apart is its pioneering, interdisciplinary research into human-maritime encounters, integrating diverse fields from archaeozoology and cyber archaeology to applied marine biology and ecology. This unique approach has established RIMS as a leading institution in Israel and renowned globally for its contributions to the field and collaborative projects.

  • A gift of $800,000 over a three-year period will provide seed funding for a top-tier returning scientist.
