About the YIA Program
Nahdet el Mahrousa incubated the Young Innovators’ Awards (YIA) program in 2004 with the mission of stimulating the culture of R&D in Egypt. The program aims to positively impact the scientific culture in Egypt in three ways: by supporting research and development activities; empowering and developing scientists, engineers and researchers; and creating linkages between university research and industrial applications.
Over the past years, the program has grown to cover all national Egyptian universities, including all 67 faculties of Engineering, Agriculture and Sciences, and has implemented partnership with numerous businesses, government agencies and educational institutions. To-date, more than 2,500 young scientists, engineers and researchers in these universities have received the YIA awards or scholarships to support their graduate education
