“I’m delighted that UK scientists will now be able to deepen their cooperation in water research with Israeli counterparts … The work of Israeli research institutions like Tel Aviv University and the Weizmann Institute, both of which I visited today, continues to improve the lives of those in water-poor countries. The UK, with its cutting-edge research facilities and vibrant scientific community, is determined to contribute to this effort with the cluster of new research initiatives we announced today.” (British Ambassador to Israel David Quarrey speaking to the media, 22/07/2015)
