This national initiative is part of Egypt’s plans to enhance the country’s position as a centre of excellence for learning and research in the Arab region over the coming years. The agreement with the IET will provide every citizen of Egypt unprecedented access to world-class research through a range of IET products including IET Inspec, a highly respected A&I database containing over 15 million records, IET.tv, the world’s largest online archive of video content as well as access to the complete range of IET Research Journals and over 500 eBooks through the IET Digital Library.
