At present, however, the contributions of Egypt and the Arab world to science and technology, and to knowledge-based economic productivity, go unnoticed on the regional and global levels. Like many Arab societies, Egypt is young. The activists who filled Tahrir Square in 2011 demanded liberty and social justice, valid ends in themselves, but their ultimate goal, I believe, was social and economic change — educational opportunities, leading to sound jobs and a decent life — necessary to flourish in the modern world. As the first Egyptian, and Arab, to be awarded a Nobel Prize in science, and a former special envoy sent by the Obama administration to promote science in the Middle East, this is my foremost concern.

The recent revolution has brought to the forefront insurmountable challenges on all levels and a strong drive for Egypt to move into the future with new strategies that will enable the country to reclaim its role on both the regional and global levels. The first part of the strategy is to build a new generation of leaders, scientists and entrepreneurs capable of having a significant impact on society. The second part of the strategy is to introduce new cutting edge fields of endeavor, which will align closely with market and national needs. Clearly, the creation of sustainable development through industries built on the outputs of scientific research requires a new system of education and scientific research.

The vision behind Zewail City of Science and Technology, the “National Project for Scientific Renaissance” was charted to capture Egyptian’s imagination and strategies and to demonstrate the power of science in building the future. Just as the Aswan Dam provided the power to build the industrial base, the National Project — in this age of science (Asr Al Alm) — must provide the power for the mind, as “Knowledge is the Light of Life”, and knowledge-based economy is the only way for improving national productivity.

The City is not in isolation. It must cooperate with existing governmental, non-governmental, societal and civic efforts in the general areas of scientific research. In order to contribute significantly to Egypt’s development, the City has established a five-component structure that defines the path from university education to research and development and on to the local and global economy market.

The City’s first component: the University of Science and Technology which was established to prepare a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, a generation capable of thinking critically and creatively, mastering basic sciences and knowledgeable about the cutting edge in interdisciplinary fields of basic and applied sciences and in engineering. The second component is a collection of different state-of-the-art Research Institutes. In the Research Institutes world-class science is carried out and they also address strategic priorities and inherent problems relevant to the country; examples include treatments for epidemic and infectious diseases such as diabetes and Hepatitis C, which are widespread in Egypt. Research is currently underway to find alternative sources of energy including solar energy, which Egypt has in abundance. Exploring planet and cosmic forces by studying fundamental physics of our universe is another frontier of study at the Research Institutes.

The original research developed at the City is transferable to industry through the third component of the City: the Technology Pyramid. It is the leading hub for high-tech innovation and development by attracting international corporations as well as incubating national startups and spin offs. The fourth component is an Academy to prepare outstanding students after preparatory school in order to prepare them to the modern education at the university level. Lastly, the fifth component: the Center for Strategic Studies, which is designed to conduct large-scale feasibility studies across all areas identified as national priorities.

Message from the ChairmanFor millennia, Egypt has made significant contributions to the progress of mankind and to the advancement of society. As a cradle of civilization and a beacon of knowledge, Egypt was a leader in scientific discoveries and innovations that defined the foundations of many fields including astronomy, chemistry, medicine, and of course engineering whose supremacy can still be seen today in the majestic architecture of the Pyramids and Karnak. Indeed, Egypt is a living testimony to the nexus between the power of knowledge and the progress of society.

Nearly a thousand years ago, the Islamic civilization paved the way to the European Renaissance through contributions of scientific knowledge, and only two centuries ago under the visionary leadership of Mohammed Ali, Modern Egypt underwent a renaissance in education, culture, and industry through interactions with Europe. Egypt became a regional industrial and military superpower, and reforms in education were crucial elements that brought about the renaissance.

In spite of the present economic hardships, Egyptians have decided to invest in the future. The Government has provided the land and initial buildings for the National Project. Egyptians inside and outside the country are continuing to make donations to the City, from 10 pounds by the children of this nation to millions of pounds from great Egyptians. One such national figure is Dr. Hassan Abbas Helmy. Equally important is the support obtained from national institutions and foundations in Egypt, which began with a contribution from the National Bank of Egypt, and contributions from Banque Misr and Commercial International Bank (CIB) Foundation. The youth of the revolution supporting the City — known as Zewail City Friends — have played an important role in the fundraising campaign.

To date, the City has managed to attract world-class scientists to join in this vision and to help Egypt become a major player in science and technology on the regional and global levels. Currently, research in fundamental physics, biomedicine, solar energy, nanotechnology and other fields is underway. We accepted the first cohort of students to the University of Science and Technology; 300 students were admitted out of 6000 applicants, a 5% rate that is comparable to those of Harvard and Yale! We have also appointed an effective team of staff at the City, and both the administrative

building in Garden City and the campus in the 6th of October City, at the outskirts of Cairo, are now fully operational.

My commitment to support the project remains unwavered and I continue to lead its Board of Governance, which includes five Nobel laureates and distinguished national and international figures. Despite all of these achievements we still have many challenges, but numerous opportunities are expected to rise and to propel the national productivity into the developed-world level. With the commitment of Egyptians to this National Project, together with the cooperation with other research and educational institutions in the country and abroad, I am confident that we will succeed and prove the City’s motto “Egypt Can” during this historic epoch of Egypt and Arab Awakening.

The vision of the National Project for Science and Technology originated in 1999. Nobel Laureate Dr. Ahmed Zewail presented the vision and road map of the project to then President Hosni Mubarak on the occasion of Egypt’s celebrations of the awarding of the Nobel Prize. Shortly after this meeting, 300 acres were assigned to the Zewail Foundation for Science and Technology.

The cornerstone was laid on January 1, 2000 in the presence of then Prime Minister Dr. Atef Ebeid at Sheikh Zayed in the 6th of October City, just outside Cairo. After many delays in its establishment, the January 25, 2011 Revolution brought a revival to the Project and Dr. Zewail was asked by the Government to re-launch the project again on its original site. The Egyptian Cabinet of Ministers issued a decree on May 11, 2011 and the initiative, National Project for Scientific Renaissance, was named by the Cabinet “Zewail City of Science and Technology”. The City was officially inaugurated on November 1, 2011 and obtained its final legal status in law No. 161 legislated on December 20, 2012.

The Supreme Advisory Board “Board of Trustees” governing the City was officially decreed on July 3, 2013, and was completed by another decree issued by the Prime Minister on November 6, 2013.

educational experience through state-of-the-art laboratories, cutting edge curriculum, technologies and a world-class faculty.

The University campus enjoys self-sufficiency with a real scientific environment to encourage the exchange of ideas and scholarly discourse. Given its independent and non-profit status, the University policy is guided by merit-based admission with financial aid and scholarships for students with limited means. The University ensures that the national culture and values are preserved with a futuristic outlook on the world.

The basic academic structure includes undergraduate programs with a new, versatile and interdisciplinary approach. Beginning students, in their academic year at the University, engage in an intense program of science courses, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences. Fluency in English is required and, as needed, intensive classes are given in the first year to improve language skills.

After their first year, students choose between two options, either the Engineering or the Science. The University offers new majors for the first time in Egypt and these include: Nanotechnology Engineering, Renewable Energy and Environmental Engineering and Space and Communication Technology. Fundamental sciences include Nanoscience, Biomedical Sciences, Materials Sciences, and Physics of the Earth and Universe.

University of Science and Technology

The purpose of the University is to build a new generation of leaders, scientists and entrepreneurs capable of having a significant impact on the society. The University searches for talent and academic excellence from all over Egypt. The minimum requirement for students to apply is to achieve a minimum score of 90% in the final exams of high school. Because the University gives special attention to basic sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology), our students are special in that they will experience both the fundamental and applied sciences during their tenure at the City.

This year as soon as admission process began, 6000 students applied, and only 1000 students were invited to sit for an admission exam, based on their high school combined score in basic sciences and their overall grade. The exam was designed to test student’s talent, ability and aptitude in mathematics and sciences. The top 300 performers from 21 governorates were invited to join the University. They are provided with a unique

The Center for Fundamental Physics (CFP) was the first Center established in the City in January of 2012. Dr. Shaaban Khalil, Director of the CFP said on aims of the Center: “We aim to foster world-class research in fundamental and theoretical physics through the building and growing of a community of scientists dedicated to high level research.” The CFP focuses on fundamental physics; this covers formal theoretical aspects of elementary particle models, cosmology and the early universe, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

The CFP has been conducting frontier research in fundamental physics which is essential to Egypt’s developments in advanced areas of technology and in teaching fundamentals of sciences involved, both from the theoretical and experimental perspectives.

One of the major research achievements of CFP is the spearheading of new activities in areas of highest priority in particle physics. Indeed, CFP is leading in the exploitation of the experimental data now being produced by

the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

The CFP is also part of the Egyptian Network for High Energy Physics (ENHEP), which forms the nucleus for the scientific cooperation between the Egyptian experts in the areas of high energy physics and those experts at CERN in the LHC project. The CFP is one of six research centers worldwide affiliated with the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Italy; ICTP funds a specific scientific research project and a number of CFP events at Zewail City. Dr. Khalil, and his group, have published articles on the subject and he has been awarded the “Misr El Kheir Foundation’s Scientific Publication Award.” He was chosen by the minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, based on scientific merit, to be the scientific coordinator for the agreement between CERN and Egypt.

The Center for Aging and Associated Diseases (CAAD) identifies genetic and environmental factors affecting age-associated functional as well as behavioral declines that underlie the reported lower Healthy Life Expectancy of Egyptians.

Dr. Sameh Ali, Director of the CAAD said on aims of the Center: “We are a cutting edge facility which studies the intricate biology of metabolic, neurological, and behavioral changes during normal aging.” CAAD focuses on discovering therapeutic, nutritional, and lifestyle-interventions to enhance the quality of life of Egyptian elders and combat age-associated debilitating conditions. This is very important given an aging population where the life expectancy age is increasing.

Since its establishment, CAAD has been conducting research in aging and its associated diseases at the forefront of the field. Experiments are underway to assess metabolic functions of different organs in animal models. The first set of experiments is addressing a prevalent disease in Egypt,

hepatic cancer, which is widespread due to extremely high incidence of Bilharzia and Hepatitis C infections. CAAD is also looking into new ways of metabolic manipulation. The other set of experiments is exploring a new potential treatment for Alzheimer’s.

In addition to the research efforts underway, CAAD has partnered with Aston University in the UK through a Memorandum of Understanding. Similar partnership protocols with several national and international institutes are in progress, and these include the American University in Cairo, Center for Urology in Mansoura, Al Azhar University, Cairo University, and Children’s Cancer Hospital (57357).

Dr. Ali has already formed an active research group at the City, encompassing both graduate and post-graduate researchers and has published review articles on these and related subjects.

The Center for Genomics (CG) was approved by the Board in 2012 and began its experimental effort in January of 2014. Dr. Sherif El-Khamisy, Director of the CG — who has recently been elected as a fellow of the UK Royal Institute of Preventive Medicine — summarizes the aims in the following words: “We aim to examine cell function and genome stability in health and disease through a state-of-the-art medical diagnostic facility to support biomedical research.”

The CG is working on two strands, the first is to determine the mechanisms by which mammalian cells maintain genome integrity and unravel genetic and environmental factors predisposing to disease and modulating responses to treatment. In particular they focus on degenerative disorders and prevalent cancers in Egypt such as liver cancer. The second strand is to identify new gene functions and novel putative drug targets for

clinical intervention in pre-pathological and pathological conditions.

The latter effort has been very fruitful with the recent discovery of new genes functions (Nature, 2009) and an ongoing drug discovery award from Cancer Research (UK) to develop chemical inhibitors for clinical applications. The CG has research collaboration links with other centers at Zewail City and with Egyptian and world-leading institutions such as the Children’s Cancer Hospital (57357) and the Sussex Center for Genome Stability, UK.

The Center was established in 2013 by a grant from the Egyptian Government, STDF (Science and Technology Development Fund). The goal of the Center is to promote stem cell research and education, and to apply stem cell therapy for intractable diseases. CESC is established in collaboration with Assiut University, which houses the human umbilical cord blood and tissue bank.

Dr. Nagwa El-Badri, Director of the CESC said on the aims of the Center: “The research goals of the Center are to apply an interdisciplinary approach to study the biology, development and differentiation of stem cells. By establishing a bio-bank for stem-cell rich tissues, the Center makes available for researchers various types of stem cells, including adult, cord blood, placental, and reprogrammed pluripotent cells.’’

Basic science research projects at the CESC aim at understanding the development and differentiation of stem cells. Translational and clinical research projects aim at therapeutic application of stem cell therapy to the treatment of metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. One of the main goals of the CESC is to promote stem cell education to students and researchers through formal courses and workshops.

In addition to the research efforts underway, CESC has partnered with several university hospitals and researchers at Assiut University, the Nephrology and Urology Center at Mansoura University, the Center of Women’s Health and Development at Alexandria, Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine and University of South Florida. Dr. El-Badri has valuable teaching and research experience in this area of research.

The Center for Nanoelectronics and Devices (CND) is helping the electronics industry to thrive in the region. Dr. Yehea Ismail, Director of the CND said on aims of the Center: “We aim to provide an atmosphere that will allow senior designers and researchers to conduct world-class industry-related research. This research will generate valuable intellectual properties (IPs) and will eventually benefit local industry.” Dr. Ismail is a fellow of IEEE and Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transaction on Very Large Scale Integration (TVLSI).

The Center is working in collaboration with the Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (TIEC) with the aim of providing multiple services to the academia and industry. At the nano-scale, the services include a computer automated design (CAD) cloud, prototyping support, and well-equipped testing laboratories. Within the CND four prototypes have been built already in solar energy, bio chips, ultrasonic localization system, and through silicon Via wafer.

The CND has been visited by heads of major technology corporations such as the VP of Synopsys, the CTO of Intel and Prince Turki and the CEO of Mentor Graphics.

The basic research and the industrial applications carried out at the CND are designed to cover a joint effort between the American University in Cairo and Zewail City. Dr. Ismail has published a number of articles on these and related subjects.

One of the main objectives of the City is to establish world-class facilities, and the Center for Nanotechnology (CNT) represents such a facility. Dr. Sherif Sedky, Director of the CNT said on aims of the Center: “We aim to provide a state-of-the-art technology platform that serves a broad spectrum of essential micro/nanotechnology applications that directly impact the society, industry and economy. This includes, but is not limited to, healthcare, renewable energy and green sustainable environment.”

The research conducted at the Center mainly focuses on the development of nanostructures and micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) suitable for fields of strategic importance to Egypt in areas such as renewable energy, communication systems, engineering and biomedical applications.

The Center is designed to integrate with various research Centers within Zewail City through the advanced manufacturing of specific nano/micro structures and for interdisciplinary research and collaborations.

This valuable know-how in knowledge and system design will be transferred to the industry, and will ultimately enable a long-term financial sustainability.

In the Center we have established a “clean room facility”, which will be fully operational by mid 2014. The clean room will host the state-of-the-art equipment essential for fabrication and characterization of miniaturized nano and/or micro devices and systems for a broad range of applications.

Dr. Sedky holds 13 patents and more than 100 publications on these and related research areas.

The Center for Materials Science (CMS) is a multidisciplinary research center that focuses on developing novel materials for applications in demanding technologies, especially those that can contribute to alleviating current problems in the health, energy, and water needs of the country. The CMS research scope is broad, and involves the making of nanomaterials for improved health and environment conditions. The developments include: novel smart drug and gene delivery vehicles, nanostructures for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine research, and water treatment materials. The development of functional materials for energy and industrial applications focuses on hydrogen storage, gas absorption and separation, heterogeneous catalysis, and solar-to-chemical energy conversions.

The CMS aims to have a positive impact at Zewail City across the different centers, and with the research community in Egypt at large, through collaborations and the utility of its resources, which include several state-of-the-art research instruments. Besides, the main research mission of the CMS, which is

also linked to industrial developments, the involvement in advanced undergraduate and graduate teaching is an integral part of the CMS objective.

As part of its outreach mission, the CMS has already initiated collaborations with a number of national and international research institutes and universities. On the local side, for instance, the CMS has now links with the University of Mansoura, Assiut University, Cairo University, and Suez Canal University, in addition to the National Research Center. Other partnership protocols with some international research universities are in progress and these include the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Michigan in USA.

The Center is jointly directed by Dr. Ibrahim El-Sherbiny and Dr. Mohamed Alkordi. Dr. El-Sherbiny recently won the 2013 award of “Dr. Venice Kamel Award for Scientific Creativity for Young Researchers in the field of Materials Science and its Applications.”

The Center for Imaging and Microscopy (CIM) was established in November of 2012. For this high-tech and unique facility several Egyptians are now being trained at leading scientific institutions like Caltech and the Max Planck Institutes. Such training emphasizes the idea of acquiring the expertise to operate such sophisticated instruments involving advanced electron microscopy imaging and laser spectroscopy.

The Center is equipped to enable imaging of nano objects with atomic-scale level of accuracy as well as the ability to track movements of molecules and particles on the time scale of a millionth of a billionth of a second, the femtosecond. This Center will play a pivotal role in research at the City, not only for the integration with other research centers, but also for the interaction with other research centers and universities in Egypt.

Because the Center involves the latest in high-speed electron imaging (200 keV) with four dimensional (4D) capabilities — the 3D

of space and 1D of time — the developments at Caltech, which resulted in a number of patents to and publications by Dr. Zewail will be a source of collaboration between the two institutions.

The first 4D Electron Microscope in the region will be operational in 2014, and will be part of the City’s facilities in imaging and nanoscience and nanotechnology.

The Center for X-Ray Determination of the Structure of Matter (CXDS) aims to promote research at the interface between Biomedical Science, Materials Science, and Nanoscience. Specific objectives include: Firstly, the contribution towards the birth of Structural Biology in Egypt and the initiation of collaboration between Egyptian scientists and the international community with focus on various X-Ray sources and methods. Secondly, the support of structural investigation of small molecules and thin films, with applications towards sensors, nanodevices, and structures of new materials. Lastly, the enabling of atomic-scale resolution of structures and biophysical data for Drug Discovery projects at Zewail City and other Egyptian institutions.

The Center’s first project will be titled: Riboswitch RNA as Nature’s “Smart Molecule”: To determine the mechanism of coupling between bio-sensing and signaling.

This project will initiate the Center’s focus on interactions of proteins and small molecules with nucleic acids. Structural Biology is at the core of cutting edge technologies for the development of new therapeutics. The CXDS, by integrating structure-based methods into Egyptian Drug Discovery efforts, will enable Egypt to contribute to international efforts for lead discovery. Some of these efforts can be directed towards diseases of special concern in Egypt and the region, including Hepatitis C virus and other infectious diseases.

The CXDS will collaborate closely with new Structural Biology programs at Cairo University and Helwan University. In addition, the Center’s Director, Dr. Fareed Aboul-ela, has established collaborations with colleagues at Rutgers University, Louisiana State University, and the University of Strasbourg. Dr. Abou-ela has published a number of papers on this subject, and related areas.

The Center for Photonics and Smart Materials (CPSM) is carrying out frontier research in the general areas of smart materials with unique applications to energy harvesting, optical computing, and IT nanostructures, all represent new areas of science and provide innovative solutions to relevant problems in the country.

Professor Salah Obayya, Director of the CPSM said on aims of the Center: “Our research focuses on the creation and use of novel computational modeling techniques for the analysis, design and optimization of micro and nano-photonic devices, which have diverse applications in renewable energy, medicine, telecommunication systems, quantum information processing and laser system applications.”

In addition to the research efforts underway, the CPSM is collaborating with a number of

local and international institutions. On the local level, the CPSM has links with Cairo University, Mansoura University, Ain Shams University, Al Azhar University in addition to the National Institute of Laser Enhanced Sciences (NILES). On the international side, the CPSM has made cooperation protocols with the University of Lancaster, South Wales University and Brunel University in the UK, and the Linz Institute for Organic Solar Energy (LIOS) in Austria and Politecnico Di Bari in Italy.

In June of 2011 a group of Zewail City enthusiasts launched a facebook page titled: Zewail City Friends https://www.facebook.com/zewailcityfriends as an immediate reaction to Dr. Zewail’s call for all Egyptians, in a national address, to support the City. Within five days, the page had over 145,000 fans and to date the page has reached over 1 million members.

The Zewail City Friends (ZCF) organized themselves quickly to form a number of committees all over Egypt with clear strategic objectives of making Egyptians more aware of the City and catalysing them to donate to Egypt’s National Project. ZCF also raise awareness about the City through many outreach activities such as conferences, lectures and school visits. They are volunteers and state this on their page clearly; they do

not represent in any way Dr. Ahmed Zewail or the City but they are ambassadors of knowledge dissemination and fundraising for the City. They ask for these contributions to be directed to Zewail City’s account number 1000/1000 in any of the banks across Egypt.

In recognition of their genuine support of the City and promotion of science nationally, Zewail City celebrated “ZCF Day” to share with them the latest achievements. In addition, the Chairman has formed the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) whose members are equally comprised of Zewail City Friends and students of the University of Science and Technology at the City. The objective of the YAC is to seek Youth’s advice and share concerns, and to discuss future plans of the City with members of the Council.

Zewail City of Science and Technology, Egypt’s National Project for Scientific Renaissance, is a non-profit education and research institution founded on the principles of competency and excellence, and is dedicated to offering world-class education and providing innovation in research and productivity, on par with the standards of the international market. With its five components: University, Research Institutes, Technology Pyramid, the Academy, and Center for Strategic Studies, the City is designed to establish an edifice that attracts the best calibers of Egyptian youth and boosts the country’s economy.

Since the inauguration of the City in November of 2011, we feel proud of the achievements that we have accomplished. The first class of students was enrolled to the university for the academic year 2013/2014; 300 students were selected from 6,000 applicants who scored 90% or above in

the Egyptian high school completion exams —thanawiyya amma — or its equivalent. Moreover, seven research centers were established and equipped, amongst which are Center for Aging and Associated Diseases, Center for Photonics and Smart Materials, Center of Excellence for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine, Center for Nanoelectronics and Devices, Center for Fundamental Physics, and the Center for

Nanotechnology. The City’s Supreme Advisory Board (SAB) includes high-level international and Egyptian figures, amongst them are five Nobel prize winners and renowned personalities in the fields of medicine, engineering, economics, and advanced sciences.

Despite our achievements in the past few years, we still have a long road ahead of us that is full of challenges. As the City is “an independent, non-profit institution”, we rely entirely on donations and contributions made by the Egyptian people. These contributions are essential for enabling us to reach our goals and ensure continuity and sustainability.

We believe in your crucial role in the success of our project, and we deeply value your contribution in building a better future and a better society for Egypt. In this context, we look forward to your support of our campaign, especially that we have granted all students of the first class admitted to the University full scholarships until their graduation, contingent upon sustaining their academic excellence. This, as you know, costs millions of pounds annually, which are fully incurred by the University.

Here are the words of one of those students: “Zewail City is the true actualization of Utopia,

Plato’s city of perfection, where life has all refined values. You leave behind all that you’ve learnt in the past and are taken away by another life where you see things that you’ve never seen before. You don’t even know which professor to choose as your role model — as all of them deserve to be so. You wish to just keep on learning from the great people around you. One week here in Zewail City has taught me more than what I’ve learnt in years ... Egypt really can!” (Sherouk Magdy, freshman student, University of Science and Technology)

I would like to express my deepest thanks and gratitude to you for your generous contribution and I look forward to further mutual cooperation to help us achieve our goals. Your donation is the foundation of building the future of Egypt and the generations to come!

Yes ... Egypt Can!Donate … for Putting Egypt on the Map

Dr. Ahmed Zewail Chairman, Supreme Advisory Board

Note: Upon making a contribution, you will receive a receipt with the amount and details of the donation, in addition to a thank-you letter issued by Zewail City of Science and Technology in recognition of your gift.
