Dr. Hossam Badrawi attends an important conference for Magna Carta ambassadors at Stockholm University, the capital of Sweden

Dr. Hossam Badrawi is attending an important conference at the University of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, for the Magna Charta ambassadors of living values ​​of education in universities, which is a project to integrate the six values ​​adopted by the Bologna process in higher education in the conscience of university management, faculty members, students and workers to create A better university community:
1- Integrity;
2- Justice and fairness;
3- Creativity, innovation and excellence.
4- Social responsibility and community service;
5- Diversity, pluralism, and inclusiveness, 6- Health, well-being, and a community of solidarity.
Noting that the principles of the Bologna Declaration to which universities adhere include the following basic principles:
1. That the university is an independent institution in the heart of societies; It produces, examines, evaluates and disseminates culture by means of research and education, to meet the needs of the world around it, and its research education must be morally and intellectually independent of all political or economic power.
2. The foundation of the university’s existence is freedom in research and training. These are the basic principles of university life, and governments and universities, each individually, must ensure that this basic requirement is respected, while rejecting intolerance and always being open to dialogue.
The university is an ideal meeting place for teachers who are able to transfer and produce knowledge, and that their knowledge is well-equipped to develop research and innovation, and to create an atmosphere that enables students to qualify for life, and to prepare them to be able to enrich their minds and souls with this knowledge.
It is the university’s continuing goal to achieve, transfer and disseminate global knowledge; To achieve its mission, it transcends geographical and political boundaries, emphasizing the vital need for different cultures and knowledge to influence one another.
Dr. Hossam Badrawi published an important research paper with Dr. Andrea Balban from Switzerland entitled “Universities: Civilization Makers or Educational Service Providers” in which he indicated that the university should meet four goals, namely “achieving well-being, order, meaning and the search for truth” and ending it with the words of Dr. Taha Hussein about universities, which he wrote in his valuable book “The Future of Culture in Egypt”, in which he says:
“The university does not form the world alone, but rather the cultured and civilized man is formed in it, for whom it is not enough to be educated, rather it is important for him to be a source of culture, and it is not sufficient for him to be civilized, but rather for him to be a developer of civilization. From these two characteristics, it is not worthy of being a university, rather it is a modest school among the humble schools.

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
