The Academic Colloquium
The Academic Colloquium of the SCE was started in 1998 at the initiative of Prof. Victor Kagalovsky, who has served as its coordinator since then. Initially, the main goal of the seminars was to introduce college researchers to one another and highlight their research topics. This goal was achieved in the first year. A year later, we began inviting lecturers from other Israeli higher education institutions, and two years later, we also invited foreign scholars to serve as seminar speakers.
The Colloquium hosted leading researchers from Harvard University, the Weizmann Institute, Tel-Aviv University, the Hebrew University, and many other major Universities, and the talks were not (and are not) limited to the Exact Sciences. Among many outstanding stories from various sciences, it is worth mentioning Archeology and the excavation of the golden calf in Ashkelon (by one of the archeologists who excavated it), the building of the Twin Towers (by one of the engineers who built them), the story from English literature (by the BBC best storyteller), and many incredible presentations from the history of science.
Our College is developing at an incredible pace – in addition to six engineering departments, three new departments have recently been opened: Architecture, Visual Communications, and Computer Sciences. This year, a new department of Medical Imaging Sciences will be opened. We expect many more fascinating talks from our College colleagues and leading Israeli and international scientists.
The upcoming Colloquium will be held on Wednesday, June 24th. 2026, at 10:00. The speaker, Prof. Sergej Flach, Institute for Basic Science, Daejeon, South Korea, will deliver his lecture: "Tailoring delocalization for (non)-Hermitian disorder".
The colloquium takes place in the seminar room (Room 303 – Einstein (40) (Old Room P324)).
The seminar will take place in a hybrid format.
