This three-years project, developed in collaboration with the Faculty of Physical Education of Helwan University, Cairo, and joined by three additional Egyptian Institutions, the Cairo Medical School, the University of Alexandria, and the University of Minia.

The main objectives of the project are to update sport science curricula in structure, contents and teaching methodology, bringing the Egyptian Faculties of Physical Education closer to their European counterparts and strengthening the background of graduates, giving them better chances to meet job-market requirements as well as contribute to scientific research and the education of younger generations. Study programs will be redesigned and updated, in the light of scientific advances and the analysis of: 1) Egyptian undergraduate and postgraduate curricula; 2) European partners experience and related curricula; 3) social and public health needs, and job-market requirements and trends. A tracking of graduates and consultation with employers will be undertaken to this effect. A new organisation of study programs will be adopted based on two main cycles, Bachelor and Master, and in prospect a PhD program, promoting the development of a postgraduate department, particularly in the biomedical area, the strongest in terms of scientific developments and prospects, and the most relevant one in terms of research interests and the perceived social needs and job-market requirements.
