The partnership supports the UAE's knowledge economy and advances Arabic as a language of scholarship and innovation.

The collaboration will be advanced through the Center for Arab Studies and Islamic Civilizations (CASIC) at AUS, reflecting the center's role in fostering research and partnerships that deepen understanding of Arab and Islamic civilisations and their contemporary knowledge contributions.

"This MoU reflects a shared national priority: building a knowledge-driven future by connecting rigorous research with real-world platforms that shape how knowledge is created, shared and applied," said Dr Tod Laursen, Chancellor of AUS.
