Cambridge Alumni Forum – Israel
Ideas · Dialogue · Community
An official platform for Cambridge alumni in Israel, dedicated to intellectual exchange, thoughtful dialogue, and a strong academic and professional community.
A forum shaped by its members, guided by curiosity, rigor and shared academic values.
About the Forum
The Cambridge Alumni Forum in Israel serves as a home for Cambridge graduates living in Israel. The forum provides a space for ideas, dialogue and high-quality engagement, rooted in academic excellence and mutual respect. It brings together alumni from diverse disciplines and generations, and, where appropriate, connects them with the public, diplomatic and professional spheres.
Why Now
In recent years, global and regional circumstances limited in-person academic and international engagement. This period enabled reflection, planning and the development of a renewed framework that now supports a return to meaningful, relevant and high-quality activity, aligned with the spirit and standards of the University of Cambridge.
What We Do
Quarterly gatherings of Cambridge alumni in Israel.
Lectures and in-depth conversations with senior academics, diplomats and public figures.
Selected collaborations with embassies, public institutions and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where appropriate.
Activities are intentionally limited in scale and curated for quality.
All activities are curated and maintain high academic and professional standards.
Due to the current situation, the event planned at the Ambassador's Residence has been postponed. A new date will be announced in due course.
Alumni who have not yet registered are invited to contact us here to be notified when details are confirmed.
