Curriculum Development for Waste Management and Entrepreneurship Hub in Egypt

In the project lead by cewas “Curriculum Development for Delta Technological University (DTU)”, the team from BFS prepared a syllabus for a course on“Waste Management Technologies" with a focus on industrial waste. Apart from the syllabus, also a “Business Plan Framework” was developed by cewas to operate the course on a viable basis and to develop it further into a training module for different target groups including waste entrepreneurs. Suggestions were made to manage the envisioned "entrepreneurship hub" at the DTU in a sustainable way, and to propose ways and means for future twinning between DTU and other educational entities to develop the services offered through both the study programme and business perspectives at large.
