Philipps University Marburg Delegation Visits the School of Biotechnology at Nile University
The School of Biotechnology at Nile University had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Johannes Schumacher, Professor of Human Genetics, and Ms. Irene El Khorazaty, International Liaison Officer from Philipps University Marburg, Germany.
The visit aimed to explore potential avenues for collaboration between Nile University and Philipps University Marburg, focusing on joint research, academic exchange, and capacity-building opportunities. In a dynamic and inclusive discussion, Nile University biotechnology students were invited to engage directly with the guests, gaining valuable insight into international cooperation and research mobility.
This visit was organized as part of a broader matchmaking event co-organized by Philipps University Marburg and sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) under the Clusters of Scientific Innovation in the Middle East and North Africa (COSIMENA) initiative.
Taking place one day before the official matchmaking event at the DAAD premises in Zamalek, the meeting set the stage for deeper institutional dialogue. The main event featured participation from multiple Egyptian and German universities, as well as representatives from major funding bodies such as the German Research Foundation (DFG) and Egypt’s Science, Technology and Innovation Funding Authority (STDF).
Together, these initiatives underscored the strong potential for bilateral research collaboration and academic exchange between Egypt and Germany, reinforcing Nile University’s ongoing commitment to advancing biotechnology education and research through global partnerships.
