ASRT-BA Research Grants Program of Young Researchers

The Joint ASRT-BA Research Grants Program for Young Researchers was launched in April 2018. The program has started after the establsihment of a partnership between the key supporters for research and researchers:

• The Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT)

ASRT is the Egyptian house of expertise. It brings together outstanding Egyptian scientists and experts from universities, research institutions, private sector, NGOs, policymakers and prominent Egyptian scientists in Diaspora to deliberate country problems, propose and carry out scientific studies, and future strategic basic plans to tackle these problems. ASRT adopts a comprehensive plan for developing Egyptian S&T to support relevant national ministries and research institutions in creating an integrated system of scientific research together for increasing the number of trained scientists in Egypt, and making science a leading role in the country's development and knowledge based economy. ASRT also promotes and encourages female and youth participation in S&T and scientific leadership.
