This Council was the first of its kind in the Arab region, which led many Arab countries to follow the example of Egypt and form similar councils. Two years later, the Council also became competent to sponsor social sciences. For nearly a quarter of a century, the Higher Council for the Arts, Literature and Social Sciences has exercised its role in the cultural and intellectual life of Egypt. In 1980, the Higher Council for Culture became the new Higher Council for Culture with the promulgation of Law No. 150 of 1980. It&#39;s headed by the Minister of Culture.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>See more available <a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/opportunity/category/Competitions-and-Awards">competition and awards</a> on For9a</strong></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>See more available <a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/opportunity/category/Grants">grants</a> on For9a</strong></p>
