Bibliotheca Alexandrina Visiting Scholar Program

    The Visiting Scholar Program is a special program organized by the Center for Special Studies and Programs (CSSP) by which it invites an international scholar each year to visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) for a certain period of time, with the aim of disseminating and exchanging knowledge with other scholars, researchers and students working in the same field of expertise.

    The scholar is also invited to participate in scientific events, taking place at the BA at the same time of his presence, by giving lectures, workshops or seminars, in the sake of providing a cross-cultural or international perspective.

    It is also intended that the Visiting Scholar is shared with neighboring institutions and is involved in community outreach activities thus providing opportunities for close interaction of the visiting scholar with university students, scholars, and researchers.

    However, the visiting scholar is allowed the opportunity to devote some time to his own professional interests as he carries out the program responsibilities.
