Annual SDG Report — 2024/25

Overview

In the 2024/25 academic year, Future University in Egypt advanced the Sustainable Development Goals across its six faculties, its campus and the communities around it. This general report brings together the University’s work on all seventeen goals for the year: the activities it held, the research its academics published, and the policies that underpin its commitments. A separate, detailed report for each goal is linked below.

Highlights across the goals

• Goal 1 — No Poverty: The Dr Hassan Azazi Founder’s Scholarship again provided full scholarships to top-performing secondary-school students, part of a standing portfolio of need-based and merit schemes that keeps a FUE education within reach of able students regardless of family income.
• Goal 2 — Zero Hunger: In March 2025 the University held its fourth consecutive community Ramadan Iftar on campus, bringing together students, faculty and staff — including those far from home — for a shared evening meal, reinforcing both food provision and a sense of community.
• Goal 3 — Good Health and Well-being: The Faculty of Pharmacy’s Community Services Festival brought together hundreds of pharmacy students with members of the public across its health-screening booths, awareness sessions and patient-counselling activities, turning student learning into direct community health service.
• Goal 4 — Quality Education: Dental students and faculty led a “From Campus to Community” schools campaign on oral health and the dangers of smoking, taking preventive-health education directly into local schools.
• Goal 11 — Sustainable Cities and Communities: In May 2025 the University staged its Cultural & Artistic Festival at the Cairo Opera House, presenting student photography, sculpture, live music and theatre to a public audience and supporting the arts and cultural heritage of the city.
• Goal 14 — Life Below Water: Faculty of Pharmacy students visited the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Alexandria as part of their Marine Natural Products course, studying marine organisms and the sustainable use of aquatic resources alongside national marine scientists.
• Goal 16 — Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions: The University opened its Model Egyptian Parliament through the “Wa3y” civic-education event, giving students a neutral space to debate political systems, the branches of government and current affairs and to practise the workings of representative democracy.
• Goal 17 — Partnerships for the Goals: In September 2025 the University renewed its strategic partnership with University College Cork in Ireland in the presence of the Minister of Higher Education, sustaining a long-standing international collaboration in teaching and research.
