Interdisciplinary Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) (Hebrew: המרכז הבינתחומי) is a private college located in Herzliya, Israel, which offers courses in both Hebrew and English. Unlike most private colleges in Israel, it is registered as a non-profit organization.
Founded in 1994 by Professor Uriel Reichman, it is Israel's first private educational institution. The IDC provides an interdisciplinary education, which combines academic study with practical training. The Interdisciplinary Center aims to create an environment where personal achievement goes hand-in-hand with social responsibility.
As of 2007, its student population consists of 3,000 undergraduate students, and 4,000 graduate students, enrolled at IDC's six schools: Arison School of Business; Efi Arazi School of Computer Science; Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy, and Strategy; Radzyner School of Law; Raphael Recanati International School; and Sammy Ofer School of Communications.
IDC's research centers include the Institute for Policy and Strategy (IPS), which organizes the "Herzliya Conference" every year, the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT), the Caesarea Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Center for Capital Markets and Risk Management, the Global Research in International Affairs Center (GLORIA), and the Center for European Studies.
