Over the last decade, Bar-Ilan has undergone a revolutionary change. Expanding from its historical emphasis on humanities, about 80% of the BIU research budget is now devoted to working in the exact sciences and engineering. Bar-Ilan puts an emphasis on recruiting young Israeli academics from leading institutions abroad who wish to pursue an academic career in Israel. Bar-Ilan's life science, exact science, and engineering labs have been significantly strengthened by the addition of faculty members from top international institutions such as Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and Caltech.
