Israel, U.S. Universities Cooperate On CI

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Leading universities in Israel and the United States have
agreed to cooperate in counter-insurgency.
Israel's Technical Institute and Yale University plan to conduct joint
homeland security and counter-insurgency research. Under the agreement, the
two universities would convene leading researchers to explore strategic,
tactical, and operational problems in security.
"The unique combination of our strong anti-terror research and the
problem-solving and management-based approach for which the Yale School of
Management is known holds great promise for a safer -- and more
integrated -- world," Technion president Yitzhak Apeloig said.
The three-year partnership was financed by Daniel Rose, a Yale graduate
and U.S. consultant. Organizers said the Technion and Yale would seek to
develop tools for decision-making and policy analysis regarding homeland
security and counter-insurgency.
