The 15th UGRF Awards

Nile University organizes this semi-annual research forum for undergraduate students periodically, as it is held once at the end of each semester. The research forum for students is one of the most important features of Nile University as a scientific research university and reflects the university’s plan for learning through innovation and applying research.

The forum includes the provision of scientific research from the students for evaluation and publishing, in addition to research projects for students of different academic years and graduation projects. Many awards are distributed to students who have internationally published their research papers and to those who delivered unique projects related to their courses.

In the 15th UGRF, the Best NU Junior Publications awards, which is a huge part of the event, is an opportunity to appreciate many of our students’ hard work by distributing trophies for their outstanding work which has been published internationally in Scopus which are:
