Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Abdelaziz Konsowa, President of Alexandria University, and Prof. Dr. Said Allam, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, the Faculty of Business organized a seminar on Wednesday, May 21, titled "Corruption in Scientific Research: Practices and Prevention Methods."
The event aligns with the implementation of Egypt’s National Anti-Corruption Strategy and the country's commitment to the United Nations Convention against Corruption.

The seminar was held under the auspices of Prof. Dr. Ayman Shtiwy, Dean of the Faculty of Business, and Prof. Dr. Alaa El-Gharbawy, Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development, in support of the university’s role in achieving the fourth strategic objective of the national strategy — building a society that is aware of the dangers of corruption and capable of confronting it.

He highlighted the distinctions between plagiarism, citation, and academic theft as different forms of corruption in research. He emphasized the need for stronger collaboration between universities and oversight bodies to promote transparency, and recommended the inclusion of academic integrity content in university curricula.

The seminar was attended by several prominent academic figures and experts, including:

• Prof. Dr. Omnia Mokhtar, Vice Dean for Graduate Studies and Research, Faculty of Business

Under the auspices of the President of Alexandria University, Professor Dr. Abdelaziz Konsowa, and within the framework of the active partnership between Alexandria University and the University of Louisville in the United States, the University of Louisville is hosting students from Alexandria University for summer training in its research laboratories across various engineering fields. This year, the University of Louisville is offering scholarships to Alexandria University students for the fourth consecutive year, in what is considered one of the most prominent undergraduate research training programs in the Middle East.

This program provides Egyptian students with a unique opportunity to participate in applied research projects within the University of Louisville’s laboratories, under the direct supervision of a distinguished group of American scientists and professors.

This year, the participating students from Alexandria University are enrolled in the following programs:

Chemical Engineering Program

Computer and Communication Engineering Program

Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering Program

Gas and Petrochemicals Engineering Program

Electromechanical Engineering Program

This participation represents an extension of a successful partnership between Alexandria University and the University of Louisville, which includes:

• The Dual Degree Program between the two universities.

The academic partnership between Alexandria University and the University of Louisville covers all engineering disciplines and offers a unique opportunity for engineering students to obtain a dual bachelor’s degree from both universities through one of the following models:

The (3+2) system: the student studies three years at Alexandria University, followed by two years at the University of Louisville.

The (4+1) system: the student studies four years at Alexandria University, followed by a fifth year at the University of Louisville.

Upon successful completion of the program, the student receives:

• A Bachelor’s degree from the University of Louisville, USA
• A Bachelor’s degree from Alexandria University

It is worth mentioning that last year witnessed the graduation of the first cohort of Alexandria University students enrolled in the dual degree program in Biomedical Engineering, after successfully completing their studies at the University of Louisville, with a total of seven graduates.

This international partnership reflects Alexandria University’s commitment to developing the academic and research capacities of its students by providing genuine opportunities to engage in global scientific and research environments, promoting cultural exchange, and acquiring international experience in advanced engineering specializations.

The university also affirms its continued commitment to providing an educational environment that is open to the world, paving the way for its students to achieve leadership and excellence and empowering them to compete confidently at both the local and international levels.

In her speech, Dr. Iman Youssef congratulated the international students on their graduation, stressing that the Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, is a large institution with a good international reputation on the “Study in Egypt” platform, which students from all over the world seek to belong to and graduate from. She also thanked the students for their efforts and hard work throughout their years of study, pointing out the challenges and difficulties they faced, the most important of which is their distance from their families and homeland. She said that Egypt was their second homeland, and that today is the day of the oath, after which they will be doctors of the future and ambassadors of Egypt in their countries. She stressed that the faculty administration will support them in their future practical and professional career and will open its doors to learning, whether in the mandatory training year as interns or postgraduate students. She also thanked the parents, stressing that today is the day of harvest for their children, as they reap the fruits of their struggle and efforts throughout the years of study to become doctors whose parents are proud of, and who will contribute to building their countries.
