Visiting Alexandria, The greatest cultural center of the world, will definitely be an unforgettable experience. This Mediterranean gem has always played an important role in preserving and transmitting cultures. For this reason, Alexandria has been considered a cosmopolitan city, belonging more to the Mediterranean world than to its hinterland. It is Egypt’s second-largest city and boasts a thriving port along its 32 kilometers of coastline. Alexandria embraces various touristic sites and museums, ranging from the ancient Roman theater, the medieval citadel of Qaitbay, the Royal Montazah Palace, to Bibliotheca Alexandrina. In addition, it is a site for a one-of-a-kind underwater archeological museum where thousands of ancient ruins have been discovered.

Prof. Ismail Abdelghafar

President of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport

The conference focuses on interdisciplinary studies in the digital era shedding light on innovation and digitization in language, culture, and communication. This conference is another milestone in the history and success of the College of Language and Communication that reflects how the college fosters an innovative up-to-date academic research environment.

Prof. Alaa Abdel Bari

Vice President for Postgraduate Studies and Scientific Research, AASTMT

This conference focuses on the era of digitalization, as the media is the most influential in achieving digital transformation and digital media is the basic tool for transmitting Information to the public.

Prof. Abeer M. Refky M. Sedeek

Dean of College of Language & Communication - Alexandria, AASTMT

This year our conference is very special as it encompasses more than 50 interdisciplinary research topics in Digital Media, Applied Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, Translation, Cultural Studies, and Digital Literature presented via presentations, panel discussions, and workshops by distinguished scholars.

Prof. Azza Heikal

Advisor to the President of the Academy for Educational Affairs

Modern means of communication and advanced technologies have contributed to radically changing societies. We have witnessed how society has become more connected towards a common goal, thanks to the media and the new language represented by social media.

Prof. Inas Hussein

Vice Dean for Postgraduate Studies & Scientific Research

The conference sheds light on interdisciplinary studies in the age of digitalization and its impact on translation and media.

Dr. Jose Manuel Perez Tornero

Professor of Journalism at Autonomous University & Former President of Spanish Corporation for Radio & Television

I think we need to fight against disinformation. We are in war.

Prof. Samy Al-Sherif

Secretary-General of the Federation of Islamic Universities and former President of the Radio and Television Union

The title chosen for this conference is an important one because we need the integration of human and social studies in order to produce significant and high-quality outcomes in the digital age. Sciences have intertwined, and media has not remained a separate discipline; rather, it is influenced by other sciences such as language studies, psychology, and sociology.

Prof. Andrea Mayr

Professor at Zayed University - UAE

I think it's a great Slogan interdisciplinary is more important than ever, The Academy is doing a wonderful Job in Serving Students and Teachers in equal measure.

Dr. Mohamed Sherdy

Egyptian journalist and media professional

Media have a large part of personalization, and the withdrawal of human emotions from the 'media or cultural' reality is not what is required

Prof. Samy Abdel Aziz

Professor at the Faculty of Media, Cairo University

The role of this conference is to take from these technologies what is appropriate for the nature of Egyptian society.

Prof. Samy Tayie

Professor of Media at Cairo University and President Consultant for College of Language & Communication, AASTMT

We strive to raise awareness among people about media education.

Dr. Charles Forceville

Professor of the Media Studies at University of Amestrdam

I think it would be better to make more use of domains such as Conceptual Metaphor in Animation with Translation to enlighten the idea in society and find its application in different fields
