New Online Database Will Connect Egyptian Scientists Living Abroad

In a move to enhance scientific collaboration, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Dr. Ayman Ashour announced the creation of an online database for Egyptian scientists and researchers living abroad. This initiative aims to strengthen ties and foster collaboration among Egyptian scientists, benefiting key scientific fields and higher education institutions within the country.

The online platform is designed to improve communication and interaction with Egyptian scientists abroad, thereby facilitating the exchange of knowledge and expertise. Dr. Ashour highlighted the potential impact on various critical sectors, including pharmaceuticals, energy, and water industries.

By linking research outcomes to industry, the initiative seeks to address pressing community needs and contribute to economic growth. Egyptian professors abroad could play a vital role in advancing higher education in Egypt by mentoring students and supervising researchers. This, in turn, is expected to enhance the global rankings of Egyptian universities.
