It is a great honor and privilege to join Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) as First Vice President for International and Regional Affairs. I am truly delighted to become part of this outstanding academic community.
E-JUST is much more than a university. It is a symbol of the enduring friendship and cooperation between Egypt and Japan. By combining the strengths of both countries, E-JUST offers a unique educational experience built on some of the finest practices of Japanese higher education, including laboratory-based learning, close faculty-student mentoring, and seminar-style education that fosters curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork.
Although E-JUST is still a young institution, it has already earned an outstanding reputation for excellence in education, research, and innovation. Today, it is recognized as one of the leading universities not only in Egypt but also across the Middle East and Africa. This remarkable achievement reflects the vision and dedication of those who have built this university, as well as the talent and commitment of its students.
As members of E-JUST, you have a unique opportunity—and an important responsibility. Your education is not only about gaining knowledge but also about developing the ability to solve real-world problems, create new value, and serve society with integrity and compassion.
Always remember that universities do not change the world by themselves. It is their graduates who do. I believe that each of you has the potential to become a leader who will shape the future of Egypt, strengthen the friendship between Egypt and Japan, and make a positive impact on the world.
I look forward to meeting you and witnessing your achievements. Together, let us build an even brighter future for E-JUST and for the generations that follow.
