Academic program in monument restoration

    **** Moderator's comments: The language in this post was quite
    difficult to understand; I hope my minor rewriting has not
    obscured any significant information.

To celebrate its 20 years anniversary, the Materials Science
Department (MSD) at the University of Alexandria has decided to
found a new Diploma for monuments restoration. This will include
theoretical teaching in addition to practical experience and
experimental work. Graduated students will be invited [for onsite
work? internships?] for two to three semesters in order to get the
Diploma and consequently will be certified to deal with monuments.

The design of this diploma necessitates the cooperation of different
departments, faculties and institution within the University of
Alexandria, as well as the technical support of Universities,
research centers and others such as consulting companies,
authorities, etc.

[The program will receive?] financial support through the World Bank
and the Tempus project. This support will be for financing needed
equipment and instrumentation required by the project target,
salaries and complete travel expenses for the research team, in
addition to financing any workshops, meetings, and conferences
needed by the project.

In case you are interested in joining this project as an institution
or on an individual basis, please kindly inform us about your
potential participation in this project and give us your input for
our proposal as soon as possible.

Your soon positive response will be highly appreciated and will be
considered as an excellent addition to the team members stated
below.
