Teaching Programs for Healthy Nutrition in the Education System: Examples, Characteristics and Insights from Israel and the World
This project presents examples and characteristics of various programs for teaching healthy nutrition in the education system, together with insights emerging from evaluation studies.
Healthy nutrition programs and health promoting schools are part of the current and past efforts to provide nutrition education in Israeli schools. This review may provide additional knowledge and insights that can assist in further developing programs for the Israeli education system.
Assessment of “Digital Health / eHealth Literacy” Among Medical School Graduates in Israel
This study aims to assess the levels of “Digital Health / eHealth Literacy” among graduates of medical schools in Israel, with a specific focus on examining the integration of digital health literacy into medical education. By evaluating the alignment between graduates’ digital health literacy, medical school curricula, and the evolving needs of the workplace, this research seeks to provide policy recommendations for enhancing digital health literacy education in medical schools.
Neaman Index | Research & Innovation in Health
The dashboard presents data compiled and analyzed by the Samuel Neaman Institute team, focusing on topics related to the higher education, research, and innovation system in the field of health in Israel. It includes information on medical scientific publications, student data, competitive research grants, patents, startups, and the participation of Israeli institutions in international research programs. The aim is to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date, and accessible overview of academic research activity and innovation in this domain, serving the needs of decision-makers, researchers, and other stakeholders in the system.
Nature and Well־being
The studies of the SNI in this field examine the contribution of nature to the mental and physical health of the residents of Israel. The studies examine the beneficial effect of exposure to nature, including staying in nature outside the city, visiting urban nature sites such as parks and urban gardens, and even viewing nature through windows or simply watching nature images. The studies examine the benefits that nature affects different populations, such as ethnic sectors, gender and different ages, and provide recommendations for measures that can be taken to increase the resilience of these populations, through exposure to nature and increasing awareness of its contribution to decision makers, executive bodies, health professionals, culture and sports, and among the general population.
Home:How new technologies can help us shape homecoming policies
These days, tens of thousands of people in Israel officially or unofficially evacuated their homes. The evacuation raises many challenges associated with the disconnection of people and communities from their homes.
Why are the Property Rights of Israel’s Kibbutzim and Cooperative Villages Still Tantamount to Vassals?
Many of the victims of the massacre by Hamas on Oct. 7 were members of the communal (kibbutzim) and cooperative (moshavim) villages located next to the barrier from Gaza. An unexposed fact is that their land and housing rights and thus their household capital – even after several generations – are worse than under feudal landlords. This holds for such village across Israel. Our socio-legal-empirical research seeks to raise the veil from this archaic and unjust public policy which has become entrenched and blind. Without extensive legal and policy rethinking, the survivors returning to the villages after reconstruction will still have to live under a quasi-feudal land regime.
Natural Gas and Oil
Samuel Neaman Institute’s studies in this field address all aspects of the use of fossil fuels and also include a number of studies carried out for the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Energy to examine the environmental impacts of natural gas as a source of fuels for transportation.
Sustainable Developmentent
Samuel Neaman Institute’s publications in the field discuss the challenges and opportunities arising from a situation of lack of resources – land, energy, water, food and raw materials in industry. The studies present analyses of the existing situation, along with the potential for efficiency improvements and innovation and the leverage of Israeli Environmental R&D, agriculture and industry.
Innovation – Environmental Technologies
Samuel Neaman Institute’s publications indicate the necessary steps for the State of Israel to utilize the potential inherent in this market – both for improving the quality of life and the environment in Israel and for the opportunity to export knowledge and technologies and create jobs in the field. The works reflect the main trends in the world, map the uniqueness and relative advantage of the Israeli economy and shed light on the barriers facing entrepreneurs, investors and industries in Israel. In addition, the policy papers detail basic principles for designing a supportive policy.
Climate Change – Mitigation
Climate change attracts worldwide attention because of the environmental, economic and social implications. Samuel Neaman Institute’s studies in this field include means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) and their purpose is to describe and analyze emissions and provide a scientific basis for formulating national policies in various fields, including energy production, transportation, industry, construction, agriculture, water and more.
