Mohamed Mandour Dr. Salim M. AlMalik, Director-General (DG) of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO), has emphasized that the world is going through a crucial phase marked by rapid changes and unprecedented opportunities. Thus, ICESCO deeply believes that the Islamic world must not only accompany these changes, but drive them forward with a creative and distinctive vision based on proactive leadership, continuous development and a commitment to quality.

The workshop is part of the ministry's efforts to obtain the accreditation of institutional innovation from the Global Innovation Institute (GInI), and to strengthen its innovation system by complying with international standards. ICESCO's DG pointed out that the Organization's obtaining the 'Certified Innovative Organization' certification in 2024 goes beyond mere accreditation. It is the result of a rigorous evaluation process that measures the conformity of the Organization's strategy with international innovation standards, affirming that Member States' efforts to achieve this certification are an investment in a promising future, and a clear message to the world that reflects their willingness not only to join the global innovation system, but also to lead and shape it. For his part, Dr. Mohamed Ayman Ashour, Egyptian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, noted that the preparatory workshop is part of Egypt's Vision 2030 and the National Strategy for Higher Education and Scientific Research, which aims to improve the quality of the higher education and scientific research system. He added that the ministry is committed to embedding the culture of innovation in its institutions and meeting international standards of institutional excellence, while taking concrete steps towards institutional accreditation in the field of innovation by global institutions. He also praised ICESCO's efforts, its constant support to the Member States and its significant contribution to the development of the system of innovation and excellence. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
