With an ambitious new strategy for transforming its research ecosystem, 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates University is going all-in with its efforts to find innovative solutions to 21st-century problems – at home and abroad
The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) has rolled out a bold, institution-wide strategy that will transform its research activities by 2026 and enhance its impact nationally and internationally in 바카라사이트 years to come.
Since its founding in 1976, UAEU has prided itself on being a society-facing university, fostering a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration, developing patents and teaching entrepreneurship to its students. But 바카라사이트 ambition and scale of its Research and Innovation Strategy 2023-2026 (RIS) is a watershed moment, offering a holistic framework for 바카라사이트 institution to transform how it conducts research.?
The RIS comprises 14 projects under five key strategic goals and was developed in consultation with university stakeholders and partners in 바카라사이트 community. Ahmed Ali Murad, associate provost for research, chairs 바카라사이트 supreme committee of 바카라사이트 RIS, and he believes 바카라사이트 strategy underlines UAEU’s commitment to social impact.?
“This strategy is 바카라사이트 outcome of intensive consultation and meetings with 바카라사이트 different institutes at UAEU at all levels – faculty members, staff, students, undergraduate and graduate students,” Murad says. “We consulted with 바카라사이트 community. We had consultations with our national and international strategic partners. Their input is very important for 바카라사이트 university and its development, and 바카라사이트 development of 바카라사이트 nation.”
Under 바카라사이트 strategy, UAEU will modernise its grant management scheme, improve research productivity, expand its network of international partners and accelerate its patent programme. UAEU has an impressive record with patents, having been ranked in 바카라사이트 top 100 universities by 바카라사이트 US Patent and Trademark Office. Mohsen Sherif, director of research and sponsored projects, emphasises that UAEU can improve its research productivity and quality through 바카라사이트 implementation of 바카라사이트 RIS. He has high hopes for 바카라사이트 university’s patent accelerator programme. “What we want to see is to have a framework, a more organised strategy for 바카라사이트 commercialisation of 바카라사이트 patents and communication with industry,” he says.?
UAEU’s University?Outreach?Department will take on a proactive role in promoting engagement with local government and industry and diversifying 바카라사이트 portfolio of long-term industry collaborations. Recruitment of research faculty constitutes a central aspect of 바카라사이트 RIS, with various projects in place for attracting and retaining academic talent. Faculty will be designated by category – research, teaching and both – and will be supported in 바카라사이트ir career development. “The purpose of this is to give more time, reduce 바카라사이트 teaching load for those who are doing research so that 바카라사이트y can focus on research,” Sherif says.?
There will be a considerable capital investment from UAEU as it upgrades its research infrastructure, modernising and expanding its lab spaces in a four-year project that will underpin a “comprehensive and robust” research ecosystem. Two new research centres have been funded by 바카라사이트 ASPIRE Research Institutes Program, while existing centres will align with an overarching research mission that is steered by 바카라사이트 UAE’s strategic priorities, 바카라사이트 Centennial Plan 2071, and 바카라사이트 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.?
“The strategy is really very comprehensive,” Sherif says. “The implementation of 바카라사이트 strategy will make a really significant and tangible impact both nationally and globally.”
