A Healthy And Happy New Year From All Of Us At Baggit Gloria Woolman Computer Sciences Are Developed Jerusalem — An "indus- trial incubator" project aimed at assisting small teams of immigrant Soviet scientists to develop their research con- cepts into commercial appli- cations has been launched by the Yissum Research Devel- opment Company of the He- brew University of Jeru- salem. A first "incubator" group has been formed in the area of computational sciences in conjunction with Scitex Ltd., a leading Israeli firm in the field of computer graphics. This computational sciences incubator is being led by Professor Sorin Solomon of the Hebrew University's Rachah Institute of Physics. He and three re- cent Soviet immigrant scien- tists, who are being funded by the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption, are working together on research aimed at further development of Scitex equipment. Yissum, which is register- ing this group as a legal com- pany, hopes to follow this model by using the know-how of other immigrant scientists in various fields to develop research and development projects with commercial potential. In all, Yissum — working in cooperation with the Jeru- salem Development Authori- ty — is coordinating a pro- gram to develop 10 research and development incubator groups that will employ 50 new immigrant scientists. Most of the funding will be provided by the Chief Scien- tist's Office of the Ministry of Trade and Industry as part of a program sponsoring em- ployment for immigrant scientists. In addition to the incubator development program, Yissum has also initiated a scientific/technological con- sultancy program to evaluate proposals advanced by im- migrant scientists. Under this service Hebrew Universi- ty researchers assess the new projects in terms of their scientific and technological potential.
