The board meeting was held alongside AUS’ Community Connect Cambridge delegation programme, part of a recently launched AUS outreach initiative which brought representatives from Sharjah ecosystem institutions to Cambridge for knowledge exchange, site visits and partnership exploration.

Sheikha Bodour said: "Meeting in Cambridge carries special meaning for me. It's a place that shaped and refined my relationship with knowledge, curiosity and learning. As a Board, our work strengthens the foundation for that same spirit to thrive at AUS. It’s our task to govern and develop policies that build resilience and momentum, so the university can serve its students, faculty, and community with clarity and purpose for many generations to come."
