Newsletter 2/2025 l Freie Universität Berlin Cairo Office

19.09.2025

Dear Friends, Partners and Alumni of Freie Universität Berlin,

Warm greetings from the Cairo Liaison Office of Freie Universität Berlin!

We are delighted to share some of the recent highlights from our activities in Egypt and the region—events that brought together scholars, students and institutional partners from both sides of the Mediterranean.

The weeks ahead look just as promising, with several inspiring opportunities to connect with researchers and strengthen academic collaboration across our shared community.

Alongside our past and upcoming events, this newsletter also includes a number of exciting calls for applications for doctoral programs at Freie Universität Berlin’s renowned graduate schools. We warmly encourage you to explore these opportunities and to share them with anyone who may be interested.

As this year draws to a close, we would also like to take a moment to thank you for your continuous engagement, support and collaboration. It has been a privilege to work with so many dedicated partners, and we look forward to building on this momentum in the coming year. Until then, we wish you a peaceful end of the year and a successful start into 2026!

Yours,

Freie Universität Berlin Cairo Liaison Office
