Zewail City for Science and Technology (ZCST) will launch soon a school inside the city’s area for students who have scientific talents, said businessman and the member of the Board of Trustees of ZCST Samih Sawiris. The school will open doors for only Egyptian students who have scientific talents and will set special requirements for admission. The concept of the city was proposed in 1999 and its cornerstone laid on January 1, 2000. The Cabinet proclaimed it a National Project for Scientific Renaissance and named it Zewail City of Science and Technology. On December 20, 2012, a special law for Zewail City was granted, allowing students to enroll at its university and Egypt to begin a new era of modern development in scientific research and technological production.
