The Uriel Rothblum award was granted in the conference to Eliran Sherzer and Yehezkel Resheff, and the Abraham Mehrez Prize was granted to Arsenii Shmelev, a graduate student advised by Noa Zychlinski.
A moving ceremony was held to honor Nilly Schnapp, the ORSIS administrative coordinator for many years, organized by Gad Rabinowitz and in the presence of her family (the book dedicated to Nilly can be viewed HERE).
The social evening program was held in a different and refreshing format this time, featuring a rooftop drumming session, with the Tel-Aviv sunset in the background.
All in all, the conference was most successful and memorable in every aspect.
We look forward to seeing you in next year's conference!
