Welcome to AABGU New England! We are thrilled to be building upon the rich history of partnership and collaboration between Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and our region.

David Ben-Gurion said that “Israel will stand or fall on what is accomplished in the Negev.” Your support helps realize his vision of creating a world class institution in Israel’s Negev desert that has a direct impact on people’s lives — from developing the region to international recognition for its scholarship and thought-leading research.

BGU is one of the most exciting young universities in the world. Join us to learn from one of our outstanding faculty in areas such as global health, desert and water studies, cyber security, Israel studies, or biotechnology; connect with BGU students in town for a competition at one of New England’s universities; visit our amazing university in the Negev on your next trip to see how much is being accomplished to advance Israel on the global stage.

We look forward to getting to know you, and connecting you to BGU in meaningful and significant ways.
