The conclusion of 2nd International Conference of the City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications (SRTA – City): The Challenges and Future Prospects of Biotechnology: Bridging Scientific Research with Industry

Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Mohamed Ayman Ashour, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications concluded the activities of the Second International Conference of the City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications under the title “Challenges and Future Prospects of Biotechnology: Linking Scientific Research with Industry,” chaired by Prof. Dr. Aber El- Sayed Abdel Wahab, Dean of the Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Research in the city, on Monday, September 2, 2024. The conference activities continued on Sunday and Monday, September 1-2, at the city’s headquarters in New Borg El Arab. The conference was attended by heads of research centers, university presidents, vice presidents of universities and research centers, deans of faculties and research institutes, chairmen of industrial companies, and members of the research and teaching staff from a variety of universities and research centers. The conference was also attended by a group of industry leaders, as well as a group of specialists in the fields of medical, environmental, and agricultural biotechnology from a variety of Egyptian and international universities (Mumbai University – Tianjin University). The second day’s activities were divided into two sessions, with lectures alternating between in-person and online attendance. Eight lectures were delivered by researchers and industry specialists in the field of biotechnology during the initial session, which was chaired by Prof. Dr. Mohamed El-Sheikh, Dean of the Institute of Arid Land Agriculture Research, Prof. Dr. Nahla Ahmed Taha, Dean of the Institute of Advanced Technology and New Materials Research, and Prof. Dr. Sahar Zaki, Vice Dean of the Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Research in the city. Prof. Dr. Mohamed Rashad Abdel Fattah, the Deputy Director of the city for scientific and research affairs, presided over the second session. Postgraduate students (Master’s and Ph.D.) delivered six lectures. The conference is in accordance with the axes of the National Strategy for Science, Technology, and Innovation 2030, particularly the axis of technological applications and future sciences, which encompass the fields of agriculture, environment, and health, as emphasized by Prof. Dr. Mona Mahmoud Abdel Latif, the city’s director. Additionally, it aligns with the National Strategy for Higher Education and Scientific Research, particularly the axis of communication and integration between scientific research institutions and higher education. This is in accordance with the framework of collaboration between research centers, institutions, Egyptian universities, and their international counterparts to facilitate effective communication, establish partnerships with international research centers, and exchange experiences through collaborative research projects. She also emphasized the significance of establishing collaborative technological incubators that are responsible for the conversion of scientific research into industrial products that are marketable. The success of these incubators is monitored by the number of incubated projects that reach the market. The evaluation of posters and prototypes for the second consecutive day was concluded for students of Borg El Arab Technological University and the Schools of Excellence in Science and Technology in Borg El Arab who were participating in the conference during the activities. The top four posters were chosen, and the first-place victors received complimentary invitations to the subsequent conference. The presentations were also assessed through lectures for postgraduate students (Master’s, Ph.D.) from the Egyptian institutions that participated in the conference. The most outstanding presentations were chosen, and the first-place recipients received complimentary invitations to the subsequent conference. During the concluding session, Prof. Dr. Mona Mahmoud Abdel Latif, Prof. Dr. Mohamed Rashad Abdel Fattah, and Prof. Dr. Abeer Abdel Wahab reviewed the primary recommendations of the conference. These recommendations are as follows: Enhancing fundamental sciences and connecting them to industry through innovation: Conducting training programs and seminars that concentrate on fundamental sciences and incorporating them into innovative projects that are designed to address specific industrial The number of seminars conducted, the innovative projects that result, and the satisfaction of industrial entities with them will be the determinants of success. Fostering collaboration and confidence between scientific research and industry: Implementing an annual evaluation mechanism that unites industrialists and researchers to assess the contentment of industrial entities with the research that has been presented. This mechanism encompasses the organization of field visits, the implementation of mandatory training programs for researchers in industrial environments, and the establishment of a joint committee that is responsible for the coordination of these visits and the exchange of ideas. The number of visits, joint projects, and the percentage of research deployed in the industry will be used to evaluate success. Organizing specialized training programs to qualify researchers to overcome legal and procedural obstacles, as well as providing financial incentives through a financial fund to support research that contributes to the resolution of tangible industrial problems, in accordance with industry requirements. Surveys, performance evaluations, the number of initiatives supported, and the percentage of their results that are implemented in the industry wil be implemented to evaluate Directing research to enhance industrial and economic returns: Establishing technological incubators to convert research into marketable industrial products and determining the proportion of research that results in enhanced production processes or increased investment The number of incubated projects that reach the market and the growth rate in investments that result from that research will be used to measure success. Reviewing incentives for the industry and funding projects with rapid returns: Conducting a thorough investigation to assess the efficacy of current incentives for the industry and establish criteria for funding projects with rapid financial returns. Annual reports will be issued to delineate the necessary enhancements and oversee their execution. Detailing the success tales of scientific research that have contributed to the increase in profits of industrial entities by reducing production costs, increasing national added value, or introducing new products and production The preparation of film materials and promotional publications to exhibit and promote these stories is accompanied by the documentation of photos and videos. This recommendation will be monitored by the quantity of documented stories and the quantity of published promotional materials. Supporting international scientific research and developing locally-made scientific devices to monitor industrial water: Establishing a program to develop locally-made devices to monitor and treat industrial wastewater, as well as establishing international partnerships to exchange expertise and implement joint research projects. The quantity of devices that have been developed and the number of international partnerships that have been established will serve as indicators of success. Preventing the overuse of chemical fertilizers, which contributes to the increased incidence of disease and the pollution of waterways. Implementing practical solutions by utilizing environmentally benign organic fertilizers to restore sustainability. Reducing the extensive use of mineral fertilizers, which contribute to global warming and increased global burning. Utilizing hydrogels in fertilization technology to address water scarcity in Egyptian agriculture. The state should focus on the documentation of production requirements and the assistance of simple farmers in achieving the utmost possible productivity.
