The two universities enjoy a long-standing and successful academic collaboration and a number of joint research activities. This includes an intensive exchange between Stuttgart University’s Institute of Landscape Planning and Ecology (ILPÖ) and the Urban Planning Department of Ain Shams University in Cairo in the context of the EU Tempus project «Curriculum for Environmental Impact Assessment Courses (CEIAC)», which has been running since 2007. Stuttgart’s Urban Planning Institute has organized a number of bilateral colloquia on a range of topics, including most recently the «Strategic Planning + Sustainable Urban Development» colloquium in April 2009 in Cairo und in July 2009 in Stuttgart, which provided a platform for exchange between participants from both universities as well as from both municipal authorities and other institutions. Further collaboration between the universities, local authorities and industry in Egypt were funded under the auspices of the city partnership between Stuttgart and Cairo, which was founded in 1979.
