Researcher Rana Mohamed Safi, Assistant Lecturer at the Faculty of Law – French Section, won first place, while researcher Marian Wagih, Assistant Lecturer at the Department of French Language, Faculty of Arts, secured third place. Amid strong competition, both researchers demonstrated their ability to simplify complex academic research and present it in an engaging and impactful manner in just three minutes.

This achievement reflects the fruitful integration among the University’s various sectors and highlights the vital role of the Department of French Language at the Faculty of Education in developing researchers’ skills. It also underscores that excellence in scientific research is complemented by the ability to communicate research clearly and effectively at academic forums.
