A delegation from the German Jordanian University (GJU), headed by University President Prof. Ala’aldeen Al-Halhouli, attended the closing ceremony of the fifth edition of the Crown Prince Award for Best Government Services Application (CPAGA), which also marked the launch of its sixth edition. The ceremony took place at The ARC in King Hussein Business Park in Amman.
The delegation included a number of GJU students and Prof. Ala’ Khalifeh, the university’s focal point for the award. Around nine GJU students presented innovative ideas for improving government services as part of the fifth edition.
The award is organised annually by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship in partnership with the Crown Prince Foundation. It aims to encourage university and college students across Jordan to develop innovative smartphone applications that facilitate access to government services, improve their efficiency, and make them more responsive to the needs of young people.
With the launch of the sixth edition, GJU students have a new opportunity to build on their previous experience by developing their ideas into smartphone applications that simplify government procedures and make public services easier to access.
GJU’s participation reflects the university’s commitment to engaging students in national initiatives and encouraging them to develop innovative solutions that address various challenges and contribute to Jordan’s digital transformation.
