[:en]Where the future is exclusive, in action this the story began at the Global Forum For High Education and Scientific Research (GFHS) Egypt 8-10 of Dec. 2021.

Heliopolis University for sustainable development had the chance to be the one who wrote the golden sentence in this story by attending, acting, and meeting the president Abd El Fattah El Sisi.

 

Imagine setting in a place where more than 1000 leaders, influencers, researchers, innovators, professors. In the field of scientific research, Innovation, higher education. The themes for GFHS 2021 will revolve around the unavoidable quest of preparing youth for the constantly changing demands of the workforce, taking this opportunity to attend and get the full experience.

 

This royal event will be held in El Masa Hotel. Where you can meet people from totally different backgrounds, cultures, and criteria who are setting together to share information, the story will not be complete without highlighting the importance of start-ups through a group of highly esteemed speakers, start-ups, executives, and entrepreneurs who will inspire and share their experiences with you.

 

We and our students are super excited to be part of this royal story. More than 200 students and staff from all facilities will attend this conference to develop, increase their knowledge and convey their experience through attending the workshops and listening to speakers there. Can’t wait to see you all there.

حيث المستقبل حصري، في العمل 

عندما يكون المستقبل حصريًا بالعمل، هكذا بدأت القصة في المنتدى العالمي للتعليم العالي والبحث العلمي، مصر 8-10 ديسمبر 2021.

حظيت جامعة هليوبوليس للتنمية المستدامة بفرصة أن تكتب الجملة الذهبية في هذه القصة من خلال الحضور والتمثيل ومقابلة الرئيس عبد الفتاح السيسي.

تخيل أن تكون في مكان يضم أكثر من 1000 شخص من القادة والمؤثرين والباحثين والمبدعين والأساتذة. في مجال البحث العلمي والإبتكار والتعليم العالي. ستدور موضوعات المنتدى العالمي للبحث العلمي هذا العام  حول رقمنة التعليم والسعي المتمثل في إعداد الشباب للمتطلبات المتغيرة باستمرار للقوى العاملة، ويعد اغتنام هذه الفرصة للحضور والحصول على التجربة الكاملة.

يقام هذا الحدث الملكي في فندق الماسة، حيث يمكنك مقابلة أشخاص من خلفيات وثقافات ومعايير مختلفة تمامًا فكن مستعدًا لتبادل المعلومات معهم.

ولأن التعليم العالي جزء من سوق العمل فلن تكتمل القصة دون إبراز أهمية الشركات الناشئة من خلال مجموعة من المتحدثين والشركات الناشئة والمديرين التنفيذيين، ورواد الأعمال الذين يلهمون الآخرين بمشاركة تجاربهم.

نحن وطلابنا متحمسون للغاية لأن نكون جزءًا من هذه القصة الملكية، سيحضر هذا المؤتمر أكثر من 200 طالب وموظف من جميع الكليات لتطوير وزيادة معارفهم ونقل خبراتهم من خلال حضور ورش العمل والاستماع إلى المتحدثين هناك. لا استطيع 

الانتظار لرؤيتكم جميعًا هناك

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”.
