I-LAP Tour (Israel Law & Policy)
The I-LAP tour is the gold standard for substantive, policy focused travel to the state of Israel for select graduate and doctoral students and young policy professionals.
+ About I-LAP
The I-LAP tour is a ten day, highly subsidized, substantive tour of the state of Israel.
Participants view the country through the lenses of law and policy.
The I-LAP tour takes place twice each year during the winter and summer vacations. Successful delegates interact with senior Israeli security officials, jurists, innovators, diplomats, journalists, politicians, environmentalists, policy makers and more.
I-LAP traverses the country from north to south, east to west.
I-LAP briefings are convened on each of Israel's borders, granting delegates the opportunity to learn more about subjects of international significance, on-site.
In addition to the formal elements of the trip, I-LAP offers a rich, cultural introduction into the modern state of Israel in the company of exceptional peers and provides delegates with ample opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of the country.
I-LAP cohorts are typically comprised of delegates drawn from 15-20 different countries each I-LAP trip.
Alumni of I-LAP become part of an international network that is truly global.
