Heritage has many challenges, and the National Campaign for Civilisation Right to Build Civilisation aims at raising awareness of Egypt’s right to reclaim its heritage and to pursue those who have profited from our heritage abroad, whether through the sale or gifting of original pieces to international museums, or through reproduction copies or souvenirs. The main objective of the project is to make full use of scientific research to emphasise the Egyptian right to a reward of the profits achieved by those who exploit the Egyptian cultural heritage whether they are companies, museums, individuals, etc. The grant for the project was awarded to BUE’s Farouk ElBaz Center for Sustainability and Future Studies at the British University in Egypt with the national aim of protecting Egyptian heritage.
