The Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute (RBNI) was established in January 2005 as a joint endeavour of the Russell Berrie Foundation, the government of Israel and the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. It is one of the largest academic programs in Israel and is among the largest nanotechnology centers in the world.[1]

Prof. Yeshayahu Talmon of the Technion Faculty of Chemical Engineering is the Director of RBNI since 2010, when he took over from Prof. Uri Sivan.[citation needed]

RBNI has over 110 faculty members and approximately 300 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows under its auspices at Technion.[citation needed] Its multidisciplinary activities span 14 different faculties.
