I’m pleased to share that I have been officially accepted as an expert on the UAE Research Map — a national initiative led by the Advanced Research and Technology Council (ATRC) in collaboration with the Emirates Research and Development Council (ERDC) and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR).

The UAE Research Map serves as a centralized platform uniting the nation’s scientific minds and institutions. It promotes knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation across diverse disciplines — from life sciences and sustainability to artificial intelligence and advanced materials. This initiative reflects the UAE’s commitment to building a knowledge-based economy and achieving the goals of UAE Vision 2071, where research and innovation are central to national growth.

Why Collaboration Matters

In science, collaboration is not optional — it’s essential.No single researcher or institution holds all the tools, data, or perspectives needed to solve today’s complex challenges. Whether addressing climate resilience, food security, renewable energy, or digital transformation, progress happens at the intersection of ideas and disciplines.

Through open collaboration, researchers can:

  • Accelerate innovation by combining expertise and infrastructure.

  • Ensure reproducibility and transparency across experiments and datasets.

  • Bridge the gap between academia and industry, turning discoveries into real-world applications.

  • Empower young scientists to learn, connect, and contribute meaningfully to the UAE’s growing R&D landscape.

Collaboration transforms competition into co-creation — and co-creation drives impact.

An Open Invitation

At the Fujairah Research Centre and across our partner institutions, we continue to encourage researchers, innovators, and organizations to publish their research, explore collaborative opportunities, and present their services and technological capabilities to the wider UAE community. Together, we can strengthen the nation’s role as a global hub for science, technology, and innovation.

If you’re part of this dynamic ecosystem — reach out, share your work, and let’s build solutions that matter.
