The document discusses science and technology policy and infrastructure in Israel. It notes that Israel produces a disproportionate amount of scientific research despite having little formal policy. Three factors contribute to its success: higher education and basic research supported by government; past investments in defense and agriculture R&D; and support for industrial R&D. It argues that national coordination of R&D is now needed as infrastructure investments grow more massive. Examples of successful R&D infrastructure projects in Israel through the TELEM forum are provided, including the large Israel National Nanotechnology Initiative. The need for strategic planning through a National Research Council is also discussed.
