Network of Excellence Programs for Arab Students in STEM
The track for the development of excellence in science engineering in the Arab community
MATEEN – the network of programs for the promotion of academic excellence in the STEM fields in the Arab community was established by Yad Hanadiv Foundation and the Klarman Foundation with the goal of increasing the number of Arab students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics departments and exposing them to career opportunities and role models. We believe that fostering excellence and providing knowledge and training in the STEM fields can help pave the way for excelling young Arab students to be admitted to science and engineering studies in Israeli universities, help them complete their studies on a high level and go on to develop careers in the academia or industry that would be compatible with their skills.
The network’s headquarters develops informal programs to promote academic excellence in the STEM fields, with a focus on gifted high school students with a potential to join the top team of outstanding scientists and researchers in Israel, reduce social gaps and create equal opportunities for young members of the Arab community in Israel.

Om ma'ale program as the dean of undregarduate studies in the technion:
Integrating into a network like Ma'ale will not only broaden the participant’s academic foundation, but also connect them with successful professionals, scholars, and their peers to increase their knowledge outside of the classroom.
The ability to witness the transformative power of collaboration, explore leading research, and converse in stimulating scientific dialogue will undoubtedly aid their growth and prepare them for their future academic journey. I am driven to cultivate an atmosphere of success and innovation, urging every outstanding student to discover the fascinating world of STEM and to strive for greatness. I envisage every learner as a possible member of the esteemed faculty in the near future, aiding our joint mission to advance knowledge and modernize STEM in Israeli universities and beyond. Joining Ma'ale is the commencement of this incredible venture. Join us and witness the wonders that you are capable of achieving
