			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yissum, the Technology Transfer Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, aims to promote the transfer of Hebrew University technology for the benefit of society, while maximizing returns to support research, education and scientific excellence.<br />
Founded in 1964, Yissum is one of the first technology transfer companies worldwide - second only to the Weizmann Institute&#8217;s Yeda, founded in 1959, and many years senior to most American universities - which began their Technology Transfer Services activities following the Baye-Dole Act of 1980; European universities, which typically began these activities in the 1990&#8217;s and Japan, which only began in 1998.<br />
Yissum provides the interface between the university&#8217;s researchers and industry, including:<br />
 Licensing out of new technologies<br />
 Creation and support of spin-off companies<br />
 Industry-sponsored academic research<br />
 Scientific services<br />
These years of experience have borne fruit, as Yissum&#8217;s revenues place it among the top 15 universities worldwide. Close to $1 billion worth of products based on Hebrew University technology are sold worldwide annually. Yissum&#8217;s 2005 revenues were $35 million, of which $23.5 million in royalties Through its efforts in securing industry-sponsored research and other funding, Yissum contributes some 10% of the Hebrew University&#8217;s research budget, making the institution a true Technology Transfer University.<br />
Charged with the protection and commercialization of the university&#8217;s intellectual property, Yissum has generated over 1,500 patent families over the past 20 years alone, of which 750 are currently active, including 250 which are licensed. In addition, Yissum holds equity in over 50 companies. In 2007, Yissum received 121 disclosures, submitted 91 patent applications and was granted 59 new patents worldwide.<br />
On the commercialization side, over 400 projects were handled in 2007 and 418 agreements were signed, including 33 license and option agreements.<br />
Yissum enjoyed the first Initial Public Offering of one of its companies on the Tel Aviv stock exchange in December 2005 when NasVax Ltd., based on technology from Prof. Chezy Barenholz, was successfully floated. The company now has $10 million in the bank and is in clinical trials with its influenza vaccine. This is not the first commercial success for Prof. Barenholz, who is also the developer of Doxil, sold by Johnson &amp; Johnson (through its acquisition of Alza) in the United States and Schering Plough (under the trade name Caelyx) internationally. Doxil enjoyed worldwide sales of over $400 million in 2005.<br />
Yissum, through the creation of Atox Bio Inc., was also proud to sponsor the submission to the NIH of a grant application by Prof. Raymond Kaempfer, who successfully received US$ 5.6 million for the biodefence applications of super-antigens. Yissum continues to support AtoxBio as it develops other applications of Prof Kaempfer&#8217;s technology.<br />
BioCancell Inc., which was highlighted in last year&#8217;s report, successfully raised over US$3 million from private investors and the Hebrew University&#8217;s pension fund (as an independent investor), and successfully began clinical trials with its H19-based therapy in patients suffering from bladder cancer.<br />
Following a change of management at the end of 2005, Yissum has announced some organizational changes aimed at providing the university&#8217;s researchers with better, more focused service. In addition, Yissum is in the process of simultaneously identifying the university&#8217;s Top 30 most commercially-attractive projects, and at the same time raising funds to invest in taking these projects through the proof-of-principle phase in order to achieve significantly higher valuations and much superior terms for commercialization. 2006 promises to be an exciting year for Yissum.<br />
Yissum is the Technology Transfer Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Over the past 40 years, Yissum has granted more than 400 technology licenses and is responsible for commercializing successful products that generate nearly $1 billion in worldwide sales every year. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why do many people like to go on a study tour to UK colleges and Universities? What do you know about education system in UK?  Like many other  countries United Kingdom has developed and diversified education system foe school graduates and those who want to get further or higher education.  The incredible number of colleges and universities offers thousands of courses and subjects to study. Thus, it is very important to be well-oriented in  education institutions diversity to choose the right one which will suite your interests and further career best. First, there is a difference between further  education and higher education. Further education is provided by colleges and gives a number of special qualifications such as Business Study,  Engineering, Catering etc. They are specially designed for basic knowledge study, which is an integral part of further education and special subject study.  Often further education students are able to combine a few subjects and get two or three certificates accordingly. Most further education students are  adults who are above 21 years old. They prefer to study part-time and go to work while studying. Anyway, it is your choice whether you will study full-time  or part-time. Usually part-time jobs allow further education students cover their tuition fees expenses. UK educational institutions are divided into state and  private colleges and universities. Some decades ago state colleges and universities considerably differed from each other, especially in education funding  system and costs. Nowadays both types of institutions have high tuition fees and smaller amount of grants, University Access Funds and student loans  assistance programs. Universities UK provide a wide range of subjects and qualifications to study. Education programmes at universities include  lectures, seminars, workshops, trainings and practices. Some of them even organize working experience for a year or less. High tuition fees cover  access to university books, software and computers. Be aware of ALL university facilities before applying for study: you must know well what you will  have for your big money! Although higher education requires much study, research, writing and reading the most study process is independent; lectures,  seminars and workshops take much less time than self-research and study. Of course you will be signed your own individual tutor who will guard your  study and control your results, but be ready to become a self-organized student who plans his education process himself. All universities and even further  education colleges in UK have specially assigned consultants who provide all information which you need. They are happy to consult you even in your  private matters. However, it would be better to check the university or college environment by yourself. For example, such aspects as social environment,  college/university city or town society, availability of night clubs, sports clubs or beaches play a significant role in our life. City/town living standards will  help you count your accommodation and living expenses; remember, you are going to spend a couple of years there! Each year both private and state  universities reduce their financial assistance, state and university grants cover only about 10 percent of education fees. Find out as much as possible  about financial aid availabilities, at least you can apply for student education loans system. This system is the easiest way for funding education in UK  now. However, you should remember it is repayable and sometimes has high interest ratio which expands to 20 years for paybacks to be affordable. </p>
