According to a statement recently issued by IDSC, the MoU aimed at enhancing scientific, research, and academic collaboration on topics of mutual interest.
In his address, Acting Head of IDSC Osama El Gohary expressed his satisfaction with the MoU that strengthens collaborative efforts with the Emirates Policy Center, a leading think tank in the UAE. He highlighted the center's commitment to exchanging expertise and experiences with various research institutions to develop shared visions that address pressing challenges and priority issues.
"We are committed to sharing expertise and experiences with various research institutions, both domestically and internationally, to develop unified perspectives that address diverse challenges and issues," El Gohary said.
