Deputy Director of the MASHAV Educational Training Center (METC). MASHAV is the Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I worked with Educators from developing countries, from teachers to ministers sharing educational models and policies with the objective of improving their educational systems which will contribute to the social development of their societies.
I am dedicated professional with over eight years of progressive experience in the field of International Cooperation focused on Education for Development. My master degrees in European Studies enhance my understanding of the international arena and deepened my interest in the field of international relations.

Following the Master in European Studies, I obtained a traineeship with the European Commission in Brussels which eventually led me to my current position at Avisa Partners, a private European Public Affairs Consultancy. At Avisa I focus on EU grant, health, pharmaceutical and Corporate Social Responsibility policies while also developing business relations with Israel and following Energy geo politics. Avisa has unique niche practice of EU Competition as well as expertise in EU regulations and trainings.
After graduating the German Studies MA in 2012, I have since been teaching history and civics at Johanna Jabotinsky youth village high school in Beer Yaakov.
During the scholarship program in 2012 he was involved with CENTROPA, a nonprofit, Jewish historical institute in Vienna that is dedicated to preserving 20th century Jewish family stories by disseminating these stories and photos through films, books and exhibitions. Since then, Victor has been consistently participating in its summer and winter academies which bring teachers from all over the world together. Moreover, through forming global educational projects by the teachers and their students, in his work he uses its materials, resources and methods to create and facilitate interesting and relevant projects with his high school students.
I completed my MA in European Studies in 2014 with a thesis on “The Influence of the EU Policy on Corporate Social Responsibility”, supervised by Prof. Tomer Broude.
During my MA studies, I was an intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where I conducted research on illegal immigration to the EU (especially from Africa). This internship allowed me to experience more practical research.
Currently, I am working at the EU desk at HUJI's Authority for Research and Development, assisting with EU funded research projects and proposals.
Starting September 2017, I will start a PhD program in Canada. My PhD will focus on the process which the local aboriginal population in Canada is going through.

I hold a BA in PPE (Philosophy, Economics and Political Science) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, an MA in European Studies magna cum laude from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and an MA in Law Studies cum laude from Bar-Ilan University. Winner of the Rector's and Dean's Prizes. Since 2012, I have been working as a researcher in the Research and Information Center of the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament). The Research and Information Center of the Knesset provides the Knesset members, committees, and departments with data, research papers, and background studies pertaining to current debates, legislation, and relevant parliamentary activity, on a variety of topics on the Knesset's agenda. My main research areas are: Immigration, Employment, Budget Supervision.
My studies at the European Forum have deepened my knowledge in comparative reviews, especially in familiarity with the mechanism and products of the European Union. This knowledge is critical in my field of work, in which I am often required to examine and present to Knesset members alternatives from the world in policy planning and implementation. In addition, I have gained practical experience in presenting to official forums in Israel and abroad, getting to know and dealing with negotiation management and decision-making processes.
