Mohamed Badawi and Mohamed Ayed Elbalawy have long been members of the global association Society of Economic Geologists (SEG). In September 2024, they participated in the conference organized by SEG in Namibia, where they presented their poster and the "Critical Elements" program of the TEKH Vocational College.
SEG supported the two talented young people with free registration and a contribution to travel costs, and TEKH Vocational College supported them with a contribution to accommodation costs.
