The European Union approved Egypt for Horizon Europe participation to include its research community in the program funding without solving academic freedom problems.
Research Chief Ekaterina Zaharieva reveals that their upcoming partnership will lead them to advance their research on energy solutions, fight food shortages, and shift to digital operations for November.
The low academic freedom ranking of Egypt alongside 13 other nations creates doubts about its academic success since no perpetrator has been punished for killing Giulaio Regeni in 2016.
Neighboring Europe does not have to enforce democratic standards when dealing with Egypt leading people to doubt their commitment to free academic study under international agreements.
