(NGB) welcomed students from the Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University—specifically from the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture—for an educational visit to learn about the bank’s diverse activities and its vital role in preserving plant and genetic resources, as well as maintaining the high quality of cultivated plant varieties in Egypt.
The visit was conducted under the directives of H.E. Mr. Alaa Farouk, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, and supervised by Dr. Adel Abdel Azim, President of the Agricultural Research Center.
During the visit, students toured various departments and laboratories of the gene bank. Researchers provided overviews of the bank’s services and preservation methods, and discussed its training programs. The visit reflects NGB’s ongoing collaboration with academic and research institutions to equip students with knowledge and skills aligned with the needs of Egypt’s labor market.
