Construction for the permanent headquarters of the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) will be completed in late 2018, Egypt’s Minister of Higher Education Khaled Abdel Ghaffar said on Monday. The project site will be built on an area of 200 feddans in the new city of Borg El Arab, Alexandria, at a cost of LE3 billion. During a meeting between the board of trustees of E-JUST, Ghaffar said that this experiment in the field of scientific research and education marks a culmination of the distinguished relations between Egypt and Japan. Ghaffar pointed out that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered the quick completion of the university headquarters, hoping that the university can be at the forefront in the fields of education and scientific research. He also hoped that in the future it can expand its focus to other fields, including the study of peace and political science.
