Erell Institute
education through research
Our mission
We aim to develop the curiosity and creativity of the next generation of scientists. To do this we organize research experiences that enable people from all backgrounds to take part in the process of science. Each experience brings a team of diverse researchers together to develop a question, work together to collect and analyze data that will answer their question, and present their answers to the scientific community as well as the general public.
