قصة نجاح جديدة: نموذجًا ناجحًا للتكامل بين البحث العلمي والتطبيق العملي لخدمة التنمية المستدامة
يُعدّ د. محمد رمضان زقزوق نموذجًا مميزًا للباحث العربي الطموح، الذي يوظف الذكاء الاصطناعي وصور الأقمار الصناعية لخدمة البيئة البحرية ومراقبة التلوث النفطي.
من خلال أبحاثه ومشاركته في مشروعات دولية مثل NAFCOAST وGMES & Africa، ساهم في تطوير نظم متقدمة لحماية السواحل والبيئة البحرية وتعزيز الاستدامة.
وقد كان لـ مركز البيئة والتنمية للإقليم العربي وأوروبا (سيداري) والهيئة القومية للاستشعار عن بعد وعلوم الفضاء دور بارز في تسريع إنجاز الدكتوراه الخاصة به، ودعم تطوير نظام متكامل لحماية البيئة البحرية من مخاطر التلوث النفطي، مما يمثل نموذجًا ناجحًا للتكامل بين البحث العلمي والتطبيق العملي لخدمة التنمية المستدامة.

A New Success Story: A Model of Effective Integration Between Scientific Research and Practical Application for Sustainable Development
Dr. Mohamed Ramadan Zezoq represents an inspiring model of an ambitious Arab researcher who uses artificial intelligence and satellite imagery to monitor marine oil pollution and protect the coastal environment.
Through his participation in international projects such as NAFCOAST and GMES & Africa, he contributed to developing advanced systems for coastal protection and environmental sustainability.
Both the Centre for Environment and Development for the Arab Region and Europe (CEDARE) and the National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSS) played a significant role in accelerating the completion of his PhD and supporting the development of an integrated system to protect marine environments from oil pollution, exemplifying the power of collaboration between scientific research and practical application for sustainable development.
