Endowed by the late Ms Sheila (Storm) Kelly, in memory of her parents, the Israel and Ione Massada Fellowships Programme offers a unique format for fostering academic partnerships. We sponsor short, collaborative visiting fellowships that promote the values of inclusivity, diversity, and cooperation – alongside academic rigour and innovation – by facilitating interchange among all disciplines, ethnicities and religions in the State of Israel and the University of Oxford.
The Massada Fund supports:
- Up to five visiting academic fellowships from Israel per annum*
- Up to three collaborative research trips per annum by Oxford fellows to Israel*
- The Massada Annual Lecture
- A Massada Junior Research Fellow (two-to-three-year post)
- A Massada Programme Director
* the ratio of these activities is decided annually by the Massada Committee.
