Massada Public Seminars

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.
