Under the rapidly evolving transformations taking place in the global training and scientific research sectors, relying solely on traditional methods is no longer sufficient to keep pace with modern demands. Interactive visual technologies have become an essential component in advancing learning systems and enhancing the efficiency of knowledge transfer. In line with this direction, Theodor Bilharz Research Institute continues to play its pioneering role in adopting the latest educational and technological practices that support innovation and scientific capacity building.

In this context, and under the patronage of Professor Ahmed Abdel Aziz, Director of the Institute and Chairman of the Board, a specialized scientific event entitled “The Future of Learning with JoVE: Visual, Interactive, Effective” was organized as part of the institute’s commitment to strengthening the integration between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The session was delivered by Dr. Amany Mohamed Ali, holder of a PhD in Clinical Pharmacy from Cairo University and Academic Solutions Consultant for the JoVE platform in collaboration with the Egyptian Knowledge Bank. The event was coordinated by Associate Professor Dr. Safia Samir El-Naggar, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Supervisor of the Institute Director’s Office for External Relations.

The lecture highlighted the advanced role of the JoVE platform as one of the world’s leading video-based scientific resources, offering high-quality visual content that contributes to simplifying laboratory experiments and explaining complex scientific concepts through a clear and interactive approach. It also addressed the importance of integrating the platform with the Egyptian Knowledge Bank to provide advanced educational resources that support students and researchers across various disciplines. This integration strengthens the training and scientific research ecosystem in Egypt, facilitates access to reliable knowledge, promotes critical thinking and innovation skills, contributes to narrowing the knowledge gap, and enhances the quality of the educational process in alignment with digital transformation requirements and the governmental vision toward a knowledge-based economy.

The lecture witnessed remarkable engagement from attendees, with discussions focusing on ways to employ these digital tools to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, thereby improving learning outcomes in accordance with the latest international standards.

At the conclusion of the event, the institute reaffirmed its commitment to continuing the organization of specialized scientific activities that support digital transformation in education and training, while contributing to the preparation of qualified cadres capable of keeping pace with the rapid developments across various fields of scientific research.
