==Competition call ==
It is impossible to imagine the world of architecture and urbanism today without developments such as computer-aided design applications, parametric design applications, smart cities, geographic information systems and building Information modelling. But how many of these applications and tools truly benefit the forgotten 99%? How many of these foci primarily on better quality of life for the underprivileged?
The focus of this call is pilots, ongoing projects, research and pitches for architectural, urban or rural solutions that use technology primarily for the benefit of the masses. Focus is on solutions targeting – or of relevance to - the built environment of Egypt. In March 2020, in a two-day workshop with presentations and discussions in Alexandria, nine to twelve winning proposals will be chosen to present their work to an audience of international experts, one of which will be an appointed reader charged with giving detailed one-on-one critique. Participants will also be introduced to the NilePreneurs Initiative and the opportunity to
win incubation support through their program.The call is open for researchers, professionals, students as individuals or in teams. This will be followed by a 7-10 day entrepreneurship boot-camp in May 2020 at Nile University in Cairo. One winning proposal will then be selected by the NilePreneurs Initiative. The prize is incubation support for the project up to 200,000 EGP in kind or cash. This support comes in the form of piloting and prototyping, technical support, dissemination, networking and commercialisation.
This is in addition to visibility support from NilePreneurs Initiative for all selected submissions.
===Competition themes===
====1. Building construction material, technology and finance====
This could include innovative solutions to widen the use of traditional building materials
such as earth or wood, development of modern materials such as concrete, new solutions for pressing social needs, climate control and improvement of quality of living spaces, or development of new material that could be recycled, more-cost-effective, low tech or zero-
carbon. It could also include improvements to how the material is worked, or to the process of construction, maintenance or financing.
====2. Built environment systems====
This could include issues related to how the built environment functions; transportation,
waste, water supply, sewage and sanitation. It could focus on environmentally savvy innovations involving recycling and zero-waste that link to theme 1. It could also focus on tech-based solutions for better quality of life and issues such as safe streets, inclusive design and equitable place-making.
====3. Tech-based innovations for general underlying issues====
The two themes above have intersections between them and integrated solutions for
more than one issue are encouraged. This theme also includes underlying organisational
practices related to advocacy, participation, networks and mobilisation, governance and
equitable economics and finance and how technology may facilitate improvements that
focus on the built environment.

===IMPAQT===
This competition is part of IMPAQT, a project co-funded by Erasmus+ programme of the EU between Egyptian and European academic partners. The aim of the project is to develop a new breed of architects capable of initiating a paradigm shift in Egyptian architecture practice; to become more integrative, multidisciplinary, people-centered, and technologically agile, utilizing ICT enabling technology to better consider the social and psychological dimensions of design and meet the needs of current and future generations, to create supportive and inclusive settlements that positively impact human well-being, safety and satisfaction leading to the prosperity of cities convincing other actors and shapers of the environment to adopt this approach.

===Nilepreneurs Initiative===
NilePreneurs is a national, fast growing, initiative funded by the Central Bank of Egypt, and implemented by Nile University. NilePreneurs aims to enhance the ecosystem for entrepreneurs in Egypt through its different programs: education, incubation, innovation and growth support. The initiative works closely with different banks, governmental entities and international organizations to achieve its targets.
===Architecture and Urban Design program (ARUD)===
One of the main outputs of IMPAQT project is the 5-year undergraduate program to be fully implemented at NU. All IMPAQT partners contributed to this deliverable, including deciding on Courses titles/ ECTS/ Description of course objectives/course content/pre-requisites and the level at which each course should be taught resulting in a 5-Year Plan for the undergraduate program called ‘Architecture and Urban Design’ - ARUD. Partial implementation of the program will occur in the Egyptian academic partner institutions, either as elective courses or as additional and new content to already existing courses in their undergraduate and graduate programs. The total number of courses in the new undergraduate program is 53 courses equivalent to 160 Credit Hours (CH) equivalent to 280 ECTS. On 9th September 2018, ARUD Bylaws were approved by the Supreme Council of Universities. The implementation of the undergraduate program at NU started in Fall 2018.
