The recent political upheaval in the Middle East with special reference to countries like Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt, especially when you start a "new era" with the resignation of Mubarak, repercussions of course in science and technology which also fits in the space where these Middle Eastern countries have committed themselves for years even on a different level.
Without going too far in time to 2009 was the year such as the Italian-Egyptian Year of Science and Technology which was enshrined in important effects on economic growth and competitiveness of our two countries' high-tech, energy solar and space.
As regards cooperation in this last area, indeed it was established in 2001, when the contribution was given the responsibility under the auspices of the SIA to space technology to the Egyptian Italian industries.
not impossible to know today what will be their future evolution and change in timing, which will undergo changes and force majeure for the space program, which provides important Egyptian satellite launches dedicated to the observations of the ground like Egypt Sat 2 Desertsat planned in 2012 and scheduled to 2017.
This new economic policy, therefore, can not but cause concern in Italy which is known collaborations on the chessboard in the Middle East, with Israel, but also with Egypt.
will therefore be much harder in the future in the Middle East, where Egypt plays a key role in relations with European countries?
