Egypt Attracts Scientists Abroad after June 30, 2013

Egypt's scientists abroad are migratory treasures that were not appreciated and attracted only by the state following June 30, 2013.

Expertise and services of those scientists were not far from the homeland, but they lacked the road map and access due to the pitfalls of red tape, bureaucracy and lack of responsibility of those who do not want the good of this country.

The main results of the 30th of June, 2013, were building bridges of contact and connection with nearly 200 Egyptian scientists and experts in different parts of the world.

The Ministry of State for Emigration & Egyptian Expatriates Abroad (MSEEEA), which brought the mother country and its children closer to different parts of the world.

Immediately, the visions of the 30 June state, which set for itself a road map for progress and advancement with a group of major national projects in the fields of industry, roads, as well as food security and technology, medicine and engineering.

Hanys Azar and Swelam

Both of them have the same first name.

They are Egyptian experts in reside in Germany.

Hani Azar, is a world-famed civil engineer.

He was born in Shubra district, north of Cairo.

He designed the subway network in Germany which is considered as the most known across the globe.

He was appointed by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Advisor to the President of the Republic for Transport Affairs.

The President was aiming to establish a group of important vital tunnels as economic and development arteries for Egypt, but with pure Egyptian hands.

Eng. Hany Azar described those tunnels as an engineering miracle.

He revealed that digging of East Port Said tunnels is one of new wonders across the planet due to the difficult nature of the soil in the region.

Dr. Hany Sweilem is one of the experts on water and sustainable development in Germany.

His project focuses on self-sufficient in water, food and energy.

He is a professor of sustainable development and management of water resources.

He contributed to providing many plans for water and energy management in Egypt for food production based on limited water resources.

He also prepared studies on water desalination, crop and fish production; he has experience in education for sustainable development in the poorest popular areas in Egypt.

He was asked about the state of June 30th, did he have the opportunity to contribute his experiences and projects to serve the economy of his country?

He said that here has become a link between Egypt's scientist and their country, Egypt, through the active role played by the Ministry of State for Emigration & Egyptian Expatriates Abroad.

Before June 30, the relationship between the state and its scientist was thorny.

"For example, in the education file, I previously knocked on the doors of 6 of the former ministers of education in an attempt to help in this sensitive file but ears were blocked," he added.

Projects were presented in the two most important files in Egypt: education and water for sustainable development.

"In education, we worked out models for schools with simple capabilities in the slums in Bulaq and El Warraq."

The "School 2030: Education for Sustainable Development" project aims to develop a model for Egyptian schools to enable them to provide a level of education consistent with Egypt's Vision 2030. This transformation will provide solutions to problems Governmental schools in Egypt such as: infrastructure, overcrowded classrooms, upgrading the quality of teaching, private lessons, violence, etc., along with focusing on children, youth, children with special abilities, females, and mothers in the region.

The project is funded by the European Union and the German government in cooperation with the Participatory Development Program in Urban Areas.

As for the water file, he participates as a member of the negotiation team for the Renaissance Dam.

He presented a model for solar water transformation to reduce the unit price of water for food production in new ways in the Water Funds Project or Hydrobiotics Technic, which saves 90% of the water compared to other methods and it targets the future.

"The problem of desalination is energy and with our use of solar energy, we can go a long way on the ground to face the big problem, to cope with the population increase," the expert said.

"Every child born has a share 570 cubic meters of water, currently the inpidual does not get half of this amount," he added. "So we are trying to create new water resources for desalination and multiple use of water."
