[:en]The Faculty of Pharmacy at Heliopolis University took the initiative to educate university students about safe drug use, by organizing an awareness campaign entitled “Safe Drug use”.

The campaign came as one of the goals of the field of sustainable development in health care, under the auspices of Prof. Dr. Gouda Helal, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Heliopolis University, and in cooperation with the Student Union and the Department of Pharmaceutical Practice at the Faculty of Pharmacy.

“Safe Drug use” campaign is a scientific activity for students of the fourth and fifth year of the college and a practical application of the student’s courses for the two subjects, Pharmacy Practice 2, which is taught by Prof. Dr. Jihan Fathy, Head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Practice, and Pharmacotherapy 1, which is taught by Dr. Marwa Mohamed Said, a faculty member in the department.

The students collected a lot of information through courses and their research skills and published them in brochures and posters on the campus with the aim of educating other non-pharmacy students.

During the campaign, the students provided a full explanation to all attendees, including university professors, faculty members, the assistant staff, and their fellow students in all university faculties, as well as all university employees, about the importance of the safe use of medicine.

The campaign was well received by the audience because of its new, valuable, and useful information that helps in the optimal and safe use of the drug.

 

[:ar]بادرت كلية صيدلة بجامعة هليوبوليس بتثقيف وتوعية طلاب الجامعة بالاستخدام الآمن للدواء، وكان ذلك من خلال تنظيم حملة توعوية حملت عنوان “الاستخدام الآمن للدواء”.

وجاءت الحملة كهدف من أهداف مجال التنمية المستدامة في الرعاية الصحية، تحت رعاية الاستاذ الدكتور جودة هلال عميد كلية صيدلة في جامعة هليوبوليس، وبالتعاون مع اتحاد الطلاب وقسم الممارسة الصيدلية بكلية الصيدلة. 

وتعتبر الحملة نشاط علمي لطلاب السنة الرابعة والخامسة بالكلية وتطبيقًا عمليًا للمقررات الدراسية للطلاب لمادتي Pharmacy Practice 2 والتى تدرسها الاستاذة الدكتورة  جيهان فتحي، رئيس قسم الممارسة الصيدلية ومادة Pharmacotherapy 1 والتى تدرسها الدكتورة مروة محمد سعيد عضو هيئة تدريس بالقسم. 

وجمع الطلاب العديد من المعلومات من خلال المقررات الدراسية ومهاراتهم البحثية والتى استفادوا بنشرها في مطويات وملصقات في الحرم الجامعي بهدف توعية غيرهم من غير طلاب صيدلة.

 وقدم الطلاب أثناء الحملة شرحًا وافيًا لجميع الحضور من أساتذة الجامعة وأعضاء هيئة التدريس والهيئة المعاونة وزملائهم الطلاب بجميع كليات الجامعة وكذلك جميع العاملين بالجامعة عن أهمية الاستخدام الآمن للدواء.

MED-WET Partners Participate in Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair, October 2024, Portugal

[:en] The MED-WET partners, including the team from Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development, had the opportunity to showcase their excellent results at the Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair, held during (9-13) October 2024 in Portugal. This event provided a wonderful platform to widely share the project’s advancements, exchange insights, and engage with various international stakeholders in the water, energy and agricultural sectors. During the fair, the HUSD team actively participated in a parallel conference, where they delivered in-depth presentations and speech covering the MED-WET’s goals, achievements, and importance in advancing sustainable water management for climate-resilient agriculture among the rural and desert communities. At the heart of their presence was the MED-WET stand, which attracted significant attention of the majority of participants. It served as a focal point for information dissemination, providing an interactive space where farmers, agricultural experts, policymakers, and researchers could learn more about the project’s innovative approaches to water conservation and irrigation technology in arid regions. The stand featured detailed explanations of the project’s outcomes, including key findings and 3-D prototypes of the three technologies “Constructed Wetlands in Sekem El-Wahat, Solar energy-driven desalination for greenhouse agriculture in Malta and the SLECI Irrigation technology in Portugal and Morocco”. This obviously proven the MED-WET’s success in realizing efficient water management practices that contributed to sustainable farming and addressed water scarcity challenges in the Mediterranean region. Overall, the Fundão Agricultural Innovation Fair was a highly productive experience for all participants. It allowed the MED-WET team to expand their network, raise awareness about the critical issue of water scarcity, and underscore the project’s role in promoting sustainable agricultural practices across the Mediterranean region. The fair highlighted the increasing importance of collaborative efforts in addressing water conservation and irrigation challenges in agriculture, reinforcing the relevance of the MED-WET initiative.

[:en]Showcasing the Med-Wet Project: Partners Participated in the Euro-Mediterranean Innovation Marketplace in Cairo[:]

[:en] One of the Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development’s successful research projects called “MED-WET” is selected among the top successful and highest performing 20 EU–Prima projects worldwide this year 2024. An international conference and fair was conducted on 3 Oct., 2024 in Cairo organized by Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) in association with the European Commission (EC) office in Cairo. In which, a team from HUSD and MED-WET’s partner countries from Malta and Germany presented the key results of the MED-WET project, including the successfully developed three technologies (Constructed Wetlands in Sekem El-Wahat, Solar energy-driven desalination for greenhouse agriculture in Malta and the SLECI Irrigation technology in Portugal and Morocco). That mega event allowed HUSD to showcase the innovative solution of the low-cost, low-energy and nature-based “Instream Constructed Wetland” model addressing water challenges and climate change in the Mediterranean. Such innovations aim to conserve water, improve irrigation efficiency and tackle water scarcity (climate-resilient agriculture). The marketplace offered meaningful exchanges with international partners. HUSD’s team discussed potential collaborations with stakeholders who are interested in new research projects, which will help further amplify the impact of the Med-Wet project. The conversations done with promising future partners underscored the importance of cross-border cooperation and innovation in addressing complex environmental challenges, on the top of them “water scarcity and climate change”.
