The Government launches the Egyptian Knowledge Bank

The Egyptian Government has launched the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB) on the 9th of January at Cairo Opera House in parallel with the Youth Day celebrations. The project is by far the largest online knowledge hub that gives students, researchers and the public access to free education and scientific publications worldwide. The beta version of the website has launched in English and Arabic as part of “Toward an Egyptian community that learns, thinks, and innovates,”  initiative. EKB will contain resources from reputable publishing houses such as Oxford, Cambridge and National Geographics.

Any Egyptian inside the Egyptian territory only will be able to grant free access the website. The website has four portals to address a wide range of internet users; the children, students, researchers and general readers portals. EKB is expected to hold offline public events and workshops across several universities, schools, youth centers and culture centers in different governorates.
