The British Embassy in Tel Aviv has said it will release up to £80,000 to fund urgent Covid-19 response work in Israel.
The British Embassy announced its intention to finance “scientific, innovative, economic or social projects” in relation to the coronavirus, adding that it was “looking to fund one or two small-scale, one-off or exploratory activities”.
Examples of potential beneficiaries include those developing vaccines, new drugs, therapeutics or testing, as well as projects focusing on economic recovery or supporting vulnerable or disadvantaged communities within Israel.
The Embassy said: “Proposals will be accepted from think tanks, commercial organisations, civil society, academic institutions and government entities”. The statement added that the funding will run from June 2020 until March 2021.
