Assises franco-égyptiennes: a high point for bilateral cooperation.
24/04/2025
The Assises franco-égyptiennes de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche, held on April 7th and 8th in Cairo, brought together numerous institutional, economic, and associative actors with a common objective: to strengthen partnerships between France and Egypt in these strategic sectors.
CDEFI is honored to have participated in this major event, marked by rich exchanges and meetings essential to the development of lasting partnerships. On this occasion, CDEFI signed a cooperation agreement with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Universities (CSU), paving the way for new joint actions to benefit French engineering schools.
Mr. Armel de la Bourdonnaye, President of the Europe and International Commission and CDEFI representative at these meetings, also took part in a round-table discussion dedicated to strengthening cooperation through student and research mobility, alongside Mrs. Donatienne Hissard of Campus France, Dr. Angie Aldamk of CSU, and Mrs. Sophie Vanhaeverbeke of the European Union Delegation in Egypt. Mr. de la Bourdonnaye shared his expertise on the role of higher education establishments in this field.
The event was also attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, underlining the strategic importance of academic and scientific cooperation between France and Egypt. The event demonstrated the diversity of Franco-Egyptian exchanges and the dynamism of the resulting cooperative ventures. We are delighted with the prospects opened by this meeting, and will continue our efforts to turn them into reality.
Our warmest thanks go to the French Embassy in Cairo for organizing this event.
