The JSPS Alumni Association in Egypt (JSPSAAE) was founded in Egypt in 2008 by a circle of former fellows who had been supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), and currently has around 85 members. We have a general assembly for all members once a year when the science forum is held.
Message from JSPSAAE President
President of JSPS Alumni Association in Egypt (JSPSAAE)Professor Dr. Ibrahim Tantawy
Faculty of Science, Menoufiya University
Chemistry Department)
Dear esteemed JSPS colleagues,
We would like to cordially invite all former and current Egyptian JSPS fellows as well as Egyptian scholars who have been funded by the JSPS International Joint Research Programs to become a member and participate in our alumni association’s activities. The JSPSAAE was established in 2008. Since this date, we have encouraged and supported Egyptian researchers at universities and research centers to promote collaboration between Egypt and Japan to transfer and localize Japan’s expertise and technology. We hereby recognize that scientific and technological innovation is the key to Egypt economic revitalization. The Alumni obtained formal recognition by the Egyptian government as a legally chartered Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) under the umbrella of the Ministry of Social Solidarity. The association’s executive body and board of directors have been elected via regular general assembly in free, fair, and transparent elections. The leading role of the Association in the Egyptian scientific community is being boosted through various scientific activities, conferences and on-site visits to universities and research centers to disseminate the JSPS programs. Also, we encourage young researchers to benefit from the Alumni activities. This is to be accomplished through the transfer of knowledge and experience across all scientific disciplines from specialized members of the Association. Also, eminent scientists are invited annually from Japan and Egypt to the regular annual Alumni International Conference. The Association has played a pioneering role in facilitating networks among Alumni members and their Japanese host Professors. This comes in addition to implementing the annual JSPS BRIDGE Fellowships Program for the benefit of their members. We also support STEM projects of creative and innovative ideas for high school students and empower young women and girls in STEM. We also provide information to Egyptian JSPS fellows who will go to Japan to participate in JSPS programs and need to make their stays in Japan go smoothly. Finally, we publish regular Alumni annual newsletters, Horus, highlighting activities and achievements of the alumni. I’m wishing the alumni the best of luck in their role as a lighthouse of science and culture in the Egyptian scientific community and as a means of fostering friendship, collaboration, and understanding between Egypt and Japan.
With my best wishes for further progress and prosperity for the Association.
Sincerely,
Prof. Ibrahim Tantawy,
JSPSAAE Board MEMBERS (2023 - 2026)
