Main Objective of Meetings Explore potential opportunities for researcher

exchange or co-supervision

Build common areas of interest for research

collaboration between the French and Egyptian

researchers

Representing researchers not physically

available in the visit through the delegates

Objective

UPMC - Academic Exchange Introduction to UPMC structure and method

of operations

Identification of academic short term exchange

opportunities available at UPMC for scholars

Professors are funded to work on mini research

projects to develop longer research

collaborations

UPMC - Sept 17th – 10:00 to 12:00

IFP Energie Nouvelles Opportunities to accept PhD students from

Egypt from the areas of geophysics or mining

and petroleum departments at the faculty of

engineering to work on sea bed mapping for

natural gas exploration as well as other

applications

Dr. Fadi Nader, IFPEN

UPMC - Sept 17th – 10:00 to 12:00

Programme Mistral Introduction to the program

Discussed potential evolvement of Egypt in the

programme to be further followed up upon

Invitation to the next meeting in October, 2015,

in Marseille

Reflections - Challenges Challenges with accumulation of knowledge

can be overcome by leapfrogging in research partnerships

Few missing skills for scoping and applying for research grants hinder leveraging human and technical resources in research centers

Lack of access to cutting edge experimental research can be improved by better access to technology in research partnerships

Key players – Infrastructure – Strategic Areas - Reflections

Reflections Infrastructure to carry advanced research

exist

Capacity in theoretical and computational research is a head of that of experimental

Cutting edge research is possible however collaborating with partners who have the technology and accumulation of knowledge base is crucial
