The Vice Dean of the College of Artificial Intelligence at the Egyptian Russian University noted that this year’s Scientific Excellence Day coincides with the nation’s celebration of the glorious October 6 victories.

Dr. Saeed Hassan explained that this ceremony is not merely an occasion for recognition, but rather an embodiment of the culture of recognition of achievement and appreciation for giving embraced by the college and university. This stems from their deep belief that excellence does not come by chance, but rather is the result of continuous effort, sincere perseverance, and fruitful cooperation among all elements of the academic system.
