Recommendation of Dr Pagliaro delivered |
Palermo and
Beer-Sheva, 12-Jul-2017 - Mario
Pagliaro has delivered today
his recommendation to the Chairman of the
professional evaluation committee of the Sami Shamoon College of
Engineering concerning a candidate to the position of Associate
Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering of Ben Gurion University of the Negev.
The Academic Council of Sami Shamoon College of Engineering has
determined standards for the advancement of individuals to the ranks of
Associate and Full Professor for the institution.
The criterion of research activity is not
taken as the sole
and critical factor in advancement. Rather, other factors which
include research to a reduced extent, academic activity, quality of
teaching, personal qualities, and contributions to the institution in
achieving its academic aims are also taken into account as criteria for
this
advancement.
With two campuses located in southern
Israel, a growing body of over 5,000 students and six different
engineering tracks, the Shamoon
College of Engineering is Israel's largest college dedicated to
engineering.
Professor Raz Jelinek,
chair in Applied Science at Ben Gurion University of the Negev's Ilse
Katz Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology, is the Chairman of
the professional evaluation committee. Founded in 1969, has been ranked
4th in Israel and 31st across
the world in the ranking of young universities according to the 2016 QS World University Rankings.
"The
interest of such prestigious academic institutions for the scientific opinion of scholars
based in Sicily -- comments Dr Pagliaro -- is another milestone towards the
foundation of an international research insitute recognised by the
world's leading countries in science".
Working since long towards the foundation of the new Institute of solar
energy and the bioeconomy of Italy's Research Council, Dr Pagliaro
sits frequently on international PhD evaluation committees and
regularly evaluates research projects for leading research agencies, including French
Research Agency, the Royal Society, and Israel Science Foundation.
