In, 2010, the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT) initiated the “pilot phase” of Egypt Children University through the EU-Funded initiative “SIS-CATALYST” that was meant to support the children universities’ programs, creative education and social inclusion within different education systems in the world.

In 2011, associated partner in SIS-Catalyst initiative and participated as an advisor in the international Steering board of this initiative and developed a very successful model in one of the Egyptian Universities. Through this model, the first Children’s University in Egypt, the Middle East and Africa was selected by EUCU.NET to participate in one of the few mentoring associates’ partnerships.

With the great successes achieved along four years from 2011 to 2014, ASRT decided to take that model throughout Egypt from Alexandria to Aswan to make the best use of Children’s Universities in getting the attention of potential students at very early age and motivating them to pursue university studies.

The Children’s University’s initiative is a program which introduces students at the age of 9 years to 15 years to the University’s learning activities. All activities are developed and validated by university professors and scientists to ensure the quality of learning provided and by curricula expert designers to ensure the quality of the material delivered and its alignment with the needs of each age group.
