ABOUT THE JAN KOUM ISRAEL STUDIES PROGRAM The Jan Koum Israel Studies Program fosters cross-disciplinary education and research on modern Israel. Based at the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL), the program offers courses, mentorship, internships, research support, webinars, conferences, and other in-person and online events to educate Stanford students and the broader Stanford community about the State of Israel — its culture, economy, history, legal system, politics, security challenges, society, scientific and technological innovation, as well as external relations. The program promotes engagement with Israel by bringing Israeli visiting faculty, scholars, and policy experts to Stanford and supporting educational and research activities in Israel for Stanford students and faculty.
