The ambassador of Slovenia visits Heliopolis University campus

On the day of 14th Oct, we delighted to greet the Ambassador of Slovenia, Mrs. Mateja Prevolšek at Heliopolis University.

The welcoming ceremony has begun with a warm reception from Heliopolis University president Pro. Dr. Mohamed Youssri Hesham, Mr. Omar Eldahan, and Mrs. Mona Abouliesh at the University presidential office.

Followed by a panel discussion with our students who had a semester abroad, where they also discussed their experience in Slovenia and cultural exposure.

The visit was finalized with a visit to the botanical garden with an academic delegation guided by Dr. Sameh Abo Zyed. We hope this visit and all future visits will be the product of our collective efforts and aspirations.

 

زيارة سفيرة سلوفينيا لجامعة هليوبوليس[:ar]في يوم الرابع عشر من أكتوبر، أستقبلت الجامعة سفيرة سلوفينيا السيدة ماتيا بريفولشيك بجامعة هليوبوليس للتنمية المستدامة.

بدأ حفل الترحيب باستقبال حار من رئيس جامعة هليوبوليس دكتور محمد يسري هشام واستاذ عمر الدهان والسيدة منى أبو العيش في مقر الجامعة الرئيسي.
تلتها حلقة نقاش مع طلابنا الذين قضوا فصلًا دراسيًا في الخارج، حيث ناقشوا أيضًا تجربتهم في سلوفينيا والتواصل الثقافي بين البلدين، واختتمت الزيارة بزيارة الحديقة النباتية مع وفد أكاديمي برئاسة الدكتور سامح أبو زيد.

نتمنى أن تكون هذه الزيارة وكل الزيارات القادمة نتاج جهودنا الجماعية وتطلعاتنا.

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”.
