E-JUST has taken another significant step toward promoting international cooperation in science, technology, and sustainable development through space technology applications. End of April 2025, E-JUST officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with three distinguished Japanese organizations: Space Data Inc. , UNISEC-Global, and Ecology-Cafe. Prof. Amr Adly, President of E-JUST, welcomed the Japanese delegation to the university’s main campus. A meeting was held where the two sides discussed potential areas of collaboration and shared visions for future cooperation. During the meeting, the Japanese guests were introduced to E-JUST’s achievements, academic programs, and strategic plans through a detailed presentation, campus tour, and visiting to different research laboratories giving them a comprehensive overview of the university’s role as a hub for innovation, research, and international partnership. Following the meeting, the formal MOU signing ceremony took place, establishing a framework for collaboration between E-JUST, Space Data Inc., UNISEC-Global, and Ecology-Cafe. The agreement focuses on exchanging knowledge, technology, and experience to drive sustainable social and economic development through space technology. Areas of cooperation include human resource development, satellite mission design and utilization, green infrastructure and energy systems, and solutions for economic, social, and health challenges. The MOU, which will be effective for an initial period of five years until 2030, emphasizes the mutual intention to collaborate without creating binding legal obligations. Each party will bear its own costs for activities conducted under this agreement.
