BIRAX Media reach
Exposure is important to us. Exposure promotes impact, understanding, and enhances partnerships in what we do. We therefore invest much resources in media and public communication. Additionally there is organic coverage of our grantees and stakeholders achievements. Often BIRAX grantees continue to appear in the media, presenting their scientific breakthroughs, many of them rooted in their past BIRAX partnerships. On our media page we aim to collate BIRAX media coverage of research achievements, events and UK-Israel collaborations.
