COE Exchange Program
Arizona State University (ASU-US) has established the Center of Excellence for Energy (COE) in Egypt with funding and support from USAID. The COE project is a partnership between ASU-US and three Egyptian partner universities (EPUs): Ain Shams University, Aswan University, and Mansoura University. The COE’s goal is to improve the capacity of Egypt’s higher education institutions to drive public and private sector innovation, modernization, and competitiveness; strengthen government policy to stimulate economic growth; and contribute solutions to Egypt’s development challenges in the energy sector.
The COE is launching its exchange program for undergraduate and graduate students from ASU-EG, AU, and MU to study and conduct research at ASU-US for one term. Visiting students will conduct research in a state-of-the-art energy laboratory, in collaboration with ASU-US faculty, researchers, and students. Visiting students will take courses at ASU-US and receive credits transferable to their degree programs at their home university in Egypt. They will also conduct research and participate in workshops and classes related to energy policy, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and other academic activities at ASU-US. The program will cover travel and lodging costs, all academic and equipment costs, and a living stipend.
