He stressed that researchers must embody fundamental qualities - a love of learning, a spirit of inquiry, and a constant hunger for the undiscovered - to ensure that their studies contribute meaningful insights, open new intellectual horizons, and benefit scholars worldwide.

This assertion came during Sheikh Sultan's meeting on Wednesday with the first cohort of doctoral students at Global Studies University (GSU), held in the presence of Sheikha Hoor Bint Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, President of GSU, at the Dr Sultan Al Qasimi Centre in University City.

The Ruler of Sharjah congratulated the students on joining GSU, recalling how it began as a project dedicated to African studies before expanding into a global institution housing numerous research institutes focused on regions and continents across the world.

Sheikh Sultan noted that Sharjah has long worked to create an environment conducive to education by hosting universities, higher institutes, and specialised academies across diverse fields.

He urged the students to make full use of these resources to advance the founding vision of the university.
