Alexandria University Center for Graduate Studies and Research in 1972 in conjunction with the UNESCO and UNDP, the United Nations aimed at strengthening the Graduate School of the country and encourage researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds to interact and fusion with each other to develop their research and ideas which reflect the scientific progress. It was felt as a result of extensive studies - the need to develop areas for interdisciplinary graduate studies - according to scientific standards accepted internationally in the field of higher studies and research.
