In a prestigious ceremony attended by Prof. Dr. Mahmoud EL Metiny, President of Ain Shams University, CRCICA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) on 4 March 2021 with the Faculty of Law at Ain Shams University. The signing ceremony, which took place at the historical Zaafaran Palace, was worthy the deep rootedness of Ain Shams University and CRCICA. Dr. Ismail Selim signed the MOU on behalf of CRCICA, and Prof. Dr. Nagui Abdel Momen, the Dean of the Faculty of Law, signed on behalf of the Faculty.
