AMDF’s $5-million USD donation to Tel Aviv University focused on developing world-class communications talent by establishing the DAN Department of Communication. Through the department, the university built the first laboratory of its kind for internet research, funded television and radio studios, continues to offer scholarships and post-doc positions, and strengthens study programs. It also contributes to broadening the school’s reach and influence through conferences, funding for leading researchers and media personalities, and the establishment of an annual award in communications research.
