The European Universities in Egypt (Arabic: الجامعات الأوروبية في مصر; Abbreviation: EUE) is a University Institution in the New Administrative Capital (Cairo Governorate). The institution was launched in accordance with Law No. 162/2018[1][2] on the Establishment and Organization of International Branch Campuses (IBCs) within The Arab Republic of Egypt and University Institutions,[3][4] the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Decree No. 4200/2018[5] and the President's Decree No. 86/2021.
