About Us

The Knowledge Empowerment Forum for Research and Innovation is an international Arab forum dedicated to promoting knowledge building and developing research capabilities through a knowledge empowerment approach. This is achieved by providing an advanced scientific environment, supporting research output, establishing partnerships, and empowering researchers and decision-makers to access and apply knowledge in developing innovation and serving society. Knowledge empowerment is a pivotal concept in the development of societies and institutions. It focuses on enhancing scientific and technical skills and enabling individuals to access and utilize knowledge to produce innovative solutions that address contemporary challenges. This approach contributes to raising the quality of scientific research, supporting decision-making, and achieving sustainable, knowledge-based development. Based on this understanding, the forum works to solidify the concept of knowledge empowerment as the foundation upon which the development of scientific research and innovation is built. This is accomplished through the design of programs, projects, and initiatives that enhance the efficiency of individuals and institutions and strengthen their ability to produce and effectively utilize knowledge for national and regional development. Vision: To be a leading Arab and regional force in empowering researchers and decision-makers with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to produce rigorous scientific research and sustainable innovation that serves development and society. Mission: To provide an advanced knowledge environment that supports scientific research and innovation by providing resources, developing capabilities, fostering partnerships, and empowering individuals and institutions to access and utilize knowledge effectively. Strategic Objectives: 1. To enhance the research and knowledge capabilities of individuals and institutions. 2. To support the production and dissemination of knowledge, research, and innovation. 3. To provide digital platforms and applications that facilitate access to up-to-date information. 4. To build local, regional, and international scientific partnerships. 5.
