The ESA has four primary goals:

1. A syndicated goal: to protect and care for the affairs of its members; to objectively analyze and struggle to solve their problems; to represent them in front of all official and non-official levels.
2. A preparatory goal: to expose the true civilized and Islamic character of Egypt; to propagate the national efforts of the country and Arab world for peace in front of the American, Canadian and International societies.
3. A political goal: to express, study and analyze the nation's problems, as well as those of the Arab and international community, and to express the ESA's point of view.
4. A scientific goal: to follow-up scientific deficiencies in Egypt and research solutions as much as human and practical resources allow.
