Professor Ahmed El-Minshawy, President of Assiut University, announced the package of recommendations issued by the Alumni Scientific Day, held under the title “Assiut University Graduates… Yesterday’s Experiences Shape Tomorrow.” The event was organized by the International Academic Ranking Office in cooperation with the Faculty of Fine Arts, as part of the University’s commitment to developing its graduate preparation system and strengthening its position in regional and international academic rankings. The event was supervised by Professor Omar Mamdouh Shaaban, Director of the International Academic Ranking Office, and Professor Mohamed Helmy Al-Hefnawy, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts and Rapporteur of the Scientific Day.

Professor El-Minshawy emphasized that the University is working to prepare graduates who possess knowledge, skills, and awareness, and who are capable of competing at both regional and international levels. He noted that this is achieved through investment in human capital, support for applied scientific research, strengthening partnerships, and the optimal utilization of knowledge resources—foremost among them the Egyptian Knowledge Bank.

The President of Assiut University stated that the Scientific Day resulted in several key recommendations, most notably activating alumni follow-up units across all faculties and updating alumni databases to identify and monitor distinguished graduates. In addition, the recommendations included establishing a unified electronic alumni database documenting academic and professional achievements, thereby supporting international ranking efforts and enhancing global communication with the University’s graduates.

For his part, Professor Mohamed Helmy Al-Hefnawy explained that the sessions of the Scientific Day focused on developing a digital platform for alumni-related scientific and artistic activities at the local and international levels. The platform would include lectures, success stories, and inspirational professional experiences, preserved as a knowledge archive to support student training and skills development. The sessions also emphasized measuring the impact of the Scientific Day through surveys and evaluating the quality of participation and presented content.

The Scientific Day was held in the presence of Professor Gamal Badr, Vice President of the University for Graduate Studies and Research, and Professor Mohamed Adawy, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, and under the supervision of Professor Amr Abu Fadan, Deputy Director of the International Academic Ranking Office, and Dr. Yomna Mohamed Atef, Coordinator of the Scientific Day.

The event witnessed the attendance of a distinguished group of deans and vice deans, faculty members, students, and alumni of Assiut University, in addition to an elite group of outstanding graduates and prominent academic figures.
