About the organization

In 1956, A decision was issued to establish the Higher Council for the Care of Arts and Literature as an independent institute attached to the Council of Ministers. It seeks to coordinate governmental and civil efforts in the fields of arts and literature, and the Council was thus the first of its kind at the Arab region. 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 practiced its role in the cultural and intellectual life of Egypt.
