Welcome to Young Innovators' Awards Program

The Young Innovators’ Awards (YIA) Program was incubated at NM in 2004 with the mission of stimulating the culture of research and development (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.  YIA’s Inspiration: · 

•     Inadequate educational, scientific and research institutions·   
•     Unsatisfactory quality of science production·   
•     Pressing need to enhance the training of young scientists and promote their innovations  

YIA’s Vision:·    

•   A developed Egypt through the innovations and scientific contributions of its young scientists.
