“This visit to Bar-Ilan University was very valuable. I’ve gained insights on the publication culture in other scientific areas, showing the value of peer-review but also its limitations. The visit was also a great opportunity to intensify my collaboration with a very interesting group of researchers and to experience daily life in Israel” – Virginia Dignum (TU Delft, NL), 5 November 2015 (She visited Elise Brezis in Tel Aviv in July 2015)
