I am very pleased with the success of the Emirati-German conference that was held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi and I would like to thank all of you for helping to make this conference a suc- cess and I look forward to future conferences and collabora- tions between our University and other universities. We recen- tly had visits from Kiel University in Germany and the Univer- sity of Birmingham in England to discuss collaboration with them. Hoping this opens the door for great achievements in the field of medicine. Last month, many events took place at the College of Medicine. Our faculty were busy teaching, attending meetings, revising the curriculum and preparing for examinations. Many grants deadlines were met by an increasing number of applications from fa- culty and students. I would like to congratulate the faculty members in our college who were reci- pients of the AlJalila Grant and Hamdan Medical Award Grant. This is a great achievement and a well-deserved reward for the hard work, dedication and enthusiasm of the applicants. Our students kept busy, not only with studying, but also with activities outside their curriculum, in and outside the university. Some students attended scientific meetings and competitions.
