🧠 How can student-led research contribute to research training and academic practice?

On 22 October, the Students’ Research Unit in Egypt will share its experience in an online webinar.

Dr.Ahmed Ibrahim Abdelhamed, Founder and Director of the Students’ Research Unit, will be joined by Mazen Mohamed Sayed, Education Lead, to discuss the unit’s approach to supporting students’ participation in research during undergraduate education.

Ahmed is a physiotherapist and researcher specialising in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, biomechanics, and evidence-based practice. He founded the Students' Research Unit in 2022 and has since trained over 300 students and early-career researchers in research methodology, systematic reviews. Under his leadership, the unit has supported 23+ students in achieving international publications, 50+ in co-authoring conference papers, and 10+ in delivering oral presentations at national and international conferences. Ahmed has authored and co-authored 10+ publications, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and has presented at global conferences such as the World Physiotherapy Congress.

Mazen is the Education Lead at the Students' Research Unit, a unique student-organised collective where interest in research, learning about research and creating critical thinking is central. Beyond the innovate way of learning, the level is impressively high based upon the output that the Unit delivers, published (and under review) papers including systematic reviews.

Mazen did an extra research internship based upon his far going interest in critical thinking with prof Jan Hartvigsen in Denmark, further helping his learning. He will give insights in the unique Students' Research Unit, on extracurricular research as student, on student-led peer-review for official (high-impact) journals and publishing systematic reviews as a student.

The session will explore:

• Developing students’ research skills through peer learning and research participation.

• Engaging students in peer review for academic journals.

• Conducting and publishing systematic reviews during undergraduate study.

• Lessons learned from establishing and leading a student research community in Egypt.
