Radwa was selected among APSEY first round interns with an economics background.

Today, Radwa serves as a researcher at the General authority for Investment/ Dubai Economic Development. 

About APSEY program, Radwa says:

I learnt from the multi-culture environment. It was like an incubator for future leaders in the Arab region and expanded my horizons. The program allowed me to present my first paper in Jordan. It allowed me to go on study tours to Kurimat, Zaafrana, and solar water heaters with Lund university students. It was the first time to talk about the energy subsidy and renewable energy in Egypt and MENA region before all of the changes in policies the government is doing now.
