In 1994, Mansour started the process of creating a German University in Egypt. The [[German University in Cairo]] (GUC) is the first German university to be established outside Germany and outside European borders. It was established on the basis of a presidential decree in 2002 issued by former President [[Hosni Mubarak]], German Chancellor [[Gerhard Schroeder]], and a number of prominent figures in both Egyptian and German academia and industry.<ref>{{Cite web |title=German University in Cairo - History and Facts |url=https://www.guc.edu.eg/en/about_guc/history.aspx |access-date=2022-11-19 |website=www.guc.edu.eg |language=english}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-10-03 |title=GUC has 42% of Deutsch universities’ students outside Germany - Daily News Egypt |url=https://dailynewsegypt.com/2019/10/03/guc-has-42-of-deutsch-universities-students-outside-germany/ |access-date=2022-12-04 |website=dailynewsegypt.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2003, the GUC was inaugurated outside Cairo's city limits. Mansour secured the building of a whole new technical university in New Cairo City, funded almost 15 million euros from Egyptian donors, and engaged the help of the faculties of Stuttgart and Ulm universities in order to make his concept a reality. They assisted in building and setting up the labs technically and brought their German curriculum with them. The initiative received funding from the DAAD in the amount of about 600,000 euros as a part of its Export of German Degree Courses programme. Students, scholars, and researchers from the GUC are additionally supported by the [[DAAD scholarship|DAAD]] and the [[Alexander von Humboldt Foundation]] during various study and research stays.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-09-23 |title=Egypt is gateway to Africa, Arab world:German University chief |url=https://www.egypttoday.com/Article/1/24287/Egypt-is-gateway-to-Africa-Arab-world-German-University-chief |access-date=2022-12-04 |website=EgyptToday}}</ref> He is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the university.<ref>{{Cite web |title=من هو اشرف منصور وزير التعليم العالي ؟سيرة ذاتية ومعلومات ويكيبيديا |url=http://nnewsn.com/2014/02/who-is-ashraf-mansour-minister-of-higher-education-biography-and-information-wikipedia.html |access-date=2022-11-30 |language=ar}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=نموذج أشرف منصور - عماد الدين حسين - بوابة الشروق |url=https://www.shorouknews.com/columns/view.aspx?cdate=10092022&id=6b85e3f7-4ea9-4ce9-90f0-2f8a761c3fb9 |access-date=2022-11-26 |website=www.shorouknews.com |language=ar-eg}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=German University in Cairo - Professor Dr. Ashraf Mansour In Germany for GUC’s 20th Anniversary |url=https://www.guc.edu.eg/en/home/news/news_details.aspx?newsID=1684 |access-date=2022-11-19 |website=www.guc.edu.eg |language=english}}</ref>
