The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports the "German-Egyptian Progress Partnership" programme using funding from the Federal Foreign Office (AA). The aim of the short-term measures in the German-Egyptian Progress Partnership is to help create additional opportunities for renewing Egyptian higher education institutions and support them in their efforts to modernise.

The programme is open to all subject areas and targeting University teachers, higher education employees, students, graduates, doctoral candidates from Germany and Egypt and, if applicable, from other countries. In the latter case, their participation in the funded measure must be directly connected to the project objective.
