For the third year in a row, the German University in Cairo (GUC) organized Egyptian-German research workshops in cooperation with the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) in the field of microelectronics.
Mohamed Abd El Ghany Salem, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Information Engineering Technology, and supervisor of the workshops said that the events were attended by a distinguished group of experts, academics and researchers in the field of electronic engineering from several Egyptian and German universities.
Abd El Ghany explained that it contained a series of seminars and discussions that contributed to the vision and exchange of experiences, creating an educational platform that provided participants with advanced educational content that stimulated innovation and creativity.
He pointed out that during the workshops, a productive scientific meeting was held between the President of the University, Yasser Gamal Hegazy and several professors of engineering in addition to graduate students.
He noted that this collaboration comes in line with the requirements of industrial labor markets, whether domestic and international, helping to boost industrial ties and deepening local manufacturing, attracting more investments to Egypt.
He pointed out that the meeting dealt with ways to support future cooperation between the two parties, under which students will have access to joint research opportunities between the GUC and its German counterparts for graduation projects, Masters and Ph.D. theses in the field of microelectronics.
This cooperation included eight bachelor degree opportunities at the University of Dresden, Bochum and Frankfurt for Applied Sciences, as well as two bachelor degree opportunities, two masters and seven summer internship opportunities at the Darmstadt University of Technology.
It is worth mentioning that Microelectronics is linked to the study and manufacture of very small electronic designs and components.
