SAEED AHMED GHOBASH Chancellor of the United Arab Emirates University 2 Annual Report 2017/2018 3 Message from the Vice Chancellor United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) aspires to be the University of the Future in the country and the region, having students of all ages in higher education turn to us for their studies. In that sense, we are aiming to rank among the top 20 academic institutions in Asia and the top 200 in the world. The academic year 2017-18 has shown that UAEU is attaining regional and global eminence by conducting cut- ting-edge research in areas of strategic difference to the region and the world. This year saw a great advancement in our rankings, an increase in our collaboration agreements, organizing and participating in high-level confer- ences, and building valued new links with distinguished academics and researchers. UAEU’s 2017-18 Annual Report presents and details these significant contributions to the advancements of knowl- edge through research, which demonstrates our focus on a strategy that identifies niches for research and devel- opment. With education increasingly growing as a vital pillar for the Middle East, UAEU plans to become the national hub in research and entrepreneurship, as well as the primary destination for collaboration with governmental and non-governmental agencies, organizations, industry and international agencies. We plan on focusing more on STEM subjects, as per the requirements of the future job market, and strategically select academic programs that are sustainable and relevant to the region. Education will prove crucial in equipping young students with the skills they need in the 21st century, including emotional intelligence and critical thinking We intend to attain our top rankings, while improving as we go along.

    Annual Report Academic Year 2013/2014 3 Annual Report for the Academic Year 2013/2014 Annual Report Framework - 2013 - 2014 5 Message from the Chancellor The United Arab Emirates University has taken a leading role in order to achieve the UAE Vision 2021 by encouraging and supporting excellence, creativity and innovation in the fields of scientific research and technology. The university strives to provide a motivating environment for scientific research and to encourage innovation in both scientific endeavours and the social aspects of developing a sophisticated educational system that meets the needs of the job market as well as achieving sustainable development in the UAE. This is achieved via strategic planning that aims to develop the university’s capacity for scientific research and innovation in areas of national and regional importance. At the close of academic year 2013/2014, and following the publication of the annual report, I would like to express my appreciation to every member of the university’s staff and faculty for their efforts in achieving the following strategic goals: 1. Preparing graduates to become leaders and pioneers within UAE society. 2. Developing a scientific research capacity and innovating in areas of national and regional importance. 3. Achieving academic excellence in accordance with academic and institutional accreditation standards. 4. Promoting the university’s role in transferring knowledge and skills to serve the wider society. 5. Ensuring that administrative services are of a high standard in terms of quality, efficiency and transparency. It has been a great pleasure to witness the efforts extended in developing the intellectual and creative horizons of every student regardless of their various fields of study and other activities.
