The British University in Egypt and Farouk ElBaz Center participated in the INFRA exhibition that was held on the 17th till the 19th of November, 2017 at the Cairo International Convention Centre. This exhibition involved so many companies with a great history in the infrastructure field where each company shared their knowledge, techniques, and experience in their field with the new technologies they achieved. Together the BUE and Farouk Elbaz center for sustainability and future studies participated in the area of infrastructure as the only academic institution, as Farouk ElBaz Center provided a booth for the contribution of the university to the market need that involved new ideas in the academic level for creating a new way of learning for the students and to make their graduation projects valuable by research and meeting the market needs. However, the British University has a new scope of education that shows a great respect for the society and community around the academic environment. BUE team Arch. Radwa ElMaghraby, Eng. Islam Mohamed, Dr Hassan Refaat, Mr Shady Nady and two graduate engineers were at the exhibition showing their interventions through the graduation projects and they found a great respect from the audience and a great support from the companies. And this what we can call a successful cycle for education and careers to support the society. In parallel with the exhibition, Farouk Elbaz centre held a scientific Conference and discussion for many topics related to the infrastructure among 3 sessions along the 3 days of the event.
