U.S.-Egypt Science and Technology Joint Fund

In 1995, the Governments of Egypt and the United States established a Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement to strengthen the scientific and technological capabilities between Egypt and the United States that included the creation of a U.S.-Egypt Joint Board on Scientific Cooperation and a U.S.-Egypt Joint Science and Technology Fund.

This Fund will continue to invest in scientific collaboration by supporting joint research projects between American and Egyptian scientists, providing opportunities for young scientist exchanges and creating a network of scientific professionals with an enhanced focus on applied research and technology commercialization.

This long term engagement in science and technology has strengthened relations between each country's scientists, encouraged the exchange of knowledge and expertise, and promoted scientific collaboration in areas of mutual interest.
