He advised the attendees to be prepared in advance to apply for the various projects, as they are simultaneously announced. He also directed the need for prior knowledge of the American partner to ensure the continuity of the cooperation program throughout the project period in addition to facilitating the technical obstacles. He presented the projects announced by the project donor, namely: water, energy, health, agriculture, and artificial intelligence. He directed the need to adhere to them as they have priority in funding. Prof. Awad presented examples of previous projects and explained the main challenges they faced and the points that caused some projects to weaken and how to improve them, such as purchasing devices, determining rewards, and the project implementation timeline.
