Myriad Canada is working with the Open University of Israel (OUI) on this project, an institution of higher education founded in 1974 aspiring to the highest standard of teaching and research while upholding the principles of academic freedom, freedom of opinion and freedom of conscience. With 53,000 students and 50 physical campuses nationwide, OUI reaches students from diverse socio-economic and geographic backgrounds, fostering inclusion for those from peripheral areas. OUI stands as a leader in democratizing education, as it offers high-quality, hybrid learning combining advanced digital and in-person instruction. 

OUI is dedicated to advancing multidisciplinary excellence across a diverse range of fields. Its commitment to fostering groundbreaking discoveries and innovative solutions is reflected in different specialized research centres, each focusing on critical areas of study, as well as in several research labs. These centres serve as hubs of interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together leading experts and researchers to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
