Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) is a research university with an ambition to cultivate an academic environment and become a benchmark for the Egyptian and African countries in education.
It was first established as a bilateral agreement project between the Egyptian and Japanese governments in May 2009 and later in 2010 it was ready to accept its first batch of students and make the dream a reality.
There is a strong relationship between both governments where they both divide the cooperation cohesively to ensure positive results. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) fully supports EJUST by sending their administrative and academic experts to assist and guide in the technical and managerial system of the university, as well as sending academic experts from the Japanese Supporting University Consortium (JSUC) to support in teaching, conducting joint research and co-supervising graduate students. Additionally, they provide state-of-the-art machinery, equipment and tools for research purposes. The Egyptian government fully runs and financially supports the university, which is managed by Egyptian members from both the academic and administrative staff.
All decisions that govern the university are made through its Board of Trustees (BOT) which is composed of 15 prominent figures from Egypt and Japan. They represent stakeholders from the government, as well as members from the academic field and industry from both countries.
E-JUST, with the cooperation of Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) in Egypt and Japanese Supporting University Consortium (JSUC), prepared a program for Ph.D. students to have the opportunity to study and conduct their research in Japan with partner universities for a period of 6-9 months.
Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) was established based on the bilateral agreement between Egypt and Japan signed on March 26, 2009. In this agreement, it is stipulated that the government of Japan shall make every effort to support the establishment of the University, taking into consideration that the university should be the center of excellence for higher education and scientific research in the Egypt and in the Arab and African regions, and shall encourage their respective scientific, academic and business communities to support the activities of the University.
Since its establishment, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has been playing the central role to facilitate the All Japan support including Japanese government, universities, enterprises and relevant organizations.
After 9 years of endeavors, E-JUST came to enjoy a status of national and international recognition that enhances the exposure of its students to a mirage of best academic and research experiences.
The All Japan support includes:
