British University in Egypt / EU JOINT WORKSHOP
30 June -2 July 2025 : EU-Egypt Workshop on Sustainable Multifunctional Materials and Structures: Innovations Across Automotive, Aerospace, Energy, and Water Sectors - Science & Innovation Park, The British University in Egypt, Cairo, Egypt.
The BUE/EU Joint Workshop will take place from 30 June to 2 July 2025 at Science & Innovation Park, The British University in Egypt, Cairo, Egypt.
Workshop Background and Summary: This collaborative workshop is organized to foster knowledge exchange between EU and Egyptian researchers, industry representatives, and academia, focusing on the dissemination of key research outcomes from three EU-funded projects: SALIENT, GIANCE, and BIOntier. Each project offers innovative advancements across critical sectors such as automotive, aerospace, energy, and water treatment, enhancing sustainability, circularity, and multifunctionality of materials and structures. Participants will engage through structured technical presentations, interactive workshops, hands-on training sessions, and dedicated networking activities. The goal is to leverage EU research excellence, build local capacity, and initiate new collaborative partnerships, ultimately contributing towards sustainable and resilient economic growth in Egypt and the broader MENA region.
Workshop Objectives:
Disseminate significant findings and innovations from the SALIENT, GIANCE, and BIOntier projects.
Facilitate in-depth dialogue between EU and Egyptian stakeholders on sustainable and multifunctional materials.
Deliver specialized training to strengthen local technical and research capacities.
Identify future opportunities for joint EU-Egypt research proposals and industry collaborations.
The event will highlight major advancements from three EU-funded projects: SALIENT, GIANCE, and BIOntier, focusing on circular design, sustainable materials, and technological innovation across the automotive, aerospace, energy, and water sectors.
Prof. Ahmed Elmarakbi (Northumbria University, UK) and Prof. Yehia Bahie-El-Din (BUE, Egypt) will lead the workshop, which includes technical presentations, hands-on training sessions, interactive discussions, and networking activities.
