	FOCUS on ISRAEL (Science & Technology)
		Israel aims to maintain a minimal international level of quality achievement across the broad spectrum of scientific fields, while encouraging the establishment of centers of excellence around outstanding scientists and in areas of vital concern to the development of the industrial sector.
		In technology, Israel strives for high performance mainly through specialization, concentrating national efforts on a limited number of areas and organizations.
		The percentage of Israelis engaged in scientific and technological inquiry (76 per 10,000 population) and the amount spent by Israel on research and development (in relation to its GDP), are higher than in most countries.

	Israel's Water Science - Malcolm Turnbull MP
		I was reminded of Israel’s longstanding interest in water science at Masada, the remote mountain fortress and palace built more than 2000 years ago by King Herod.
		Makorot sees itself as much more than a simple utility: it aims to be a leader in water science and actively searches out cutting edge water technology and incubates new water technology firms both with finance and by giving them the opportunity to prove their worth in Makorot’s own operations.
		The cost of the recycled water is about a half that of desalinated water, if you assume the sewage has been treated to a secondary standard anyway (the Israelis assume that nobody in their right mind would ever dispose of raw sewage….I had to bite my tongue at that point).

		At the heart of the country's funding mechanism is the Israel Science Foundation (ISF), which, in its support of basic science research, serves a function similar to the National Science Foundation in the U.S. and government-run agencies in other countries.
		By making major start-up funds available, he continues, Israeli scientists who are in the program now recognize that they can return to Israel and work in a place that may be not quite the same academically as the place they're working currently, but at least it's not that much different.
