| Abstract | In collaboration with the British Council, the Ministry of Higher Education in Cairo held a workshop on scientific research in Egypt in 2006. This addressed two main points, teaching and research, both concerned with how to assess and hence improve the quality of Egyptian university science. The British Council invited a number of people from the UK so that they could contribute their experience to the debate. This review stems from our contribution to this workshop. Our ideas arise from our experience over 25 years in UK and Egyptian universities, and having worked together in Sinai over the last 20 years, both doing research together ourselves, and trying to facilitate the work of others. In 2004-8 we ran BioMAP, a project funded by Italian Cooperation and managed in the EEAA; the project tried to improve the recording, monitoring, research on and public awareness of biodiversity in Egypt. Our experience of BioMAP has informed this review. |
