Announcement by the Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF), Call for Proposals on Development & Innovation Grants - Faculty For Factory Program (FFF).

The main objective of the grant is to bridge the gap and enhance the collaboration between the academic community and the industry and service sectors to eliminate Egypt’s economic and social challenges by developing a knowledge-based-economy. Through this grant the relevant state-of-the-art knowledge of experienced researchers in the academic community is exploited to draft proposals that suggest means of resolving the problems of both industrial and service sectors. Simultaneously, this activity helps in propagating real industrial problems into the academic community, thus offering it more frontiers for applied experience and new research.

This grant is designed to cover an experienced researcher’s time and effort (for a part-time engagement over a period ranging from 1 to 4 months) to diagnose and suggest solutions to an industrial (or service sector) problem. A detailed proposal to solving the problem under consideration is expected to be the final main deliverable of the grant. It should be clear that consultancy works are not eligible in any way.

Researcher must upload application form to STDF`s website www.stdf.org.eg
