We were joined by almost 100 supporters of the Weizmann Institute for a very special reception at the House of Commons on 1 December to celebrate the success of the London 2016 Global Gathering.

It was also an opportunity to thank our dedicated donors for all their generosity in funding the Weizmann UK Building for Biocomplexity Research which has been our major fundraising focus for the past two years.

We were especially honoured to be joined by the President of the Weizmann Institute, Professor Daniel Zajfman who gave us an overview of the important research that will take place in the recently transformed building.

The event was very kindly hosted by Chris Philp MP who is an alumnus of the Dr Bessie Lawrence International Summer Science Institute. An advocate of British-Israeli collaboration, he spoke with great warmth about his happy memories of his time at the Weizmann Institute and congratulated the Institute on its very great achievements in its relatively short history.
