Dr. Ahmed served as a team leader representing three Egyptian universities (Ain Shams University, Nile University, and Alexandria University) that contributed to the proposal, which was coordinated by the University of Oviedo in Spain. Now that the proposal has been accepted, Dr. Ahmed will spend the next year coordinating student and faculty exchanges with 12 European universities.
