UAE announces academic calendar for universities with more flexible end-of-term holidays
The UAE has announced the new academic calendar for all public and private higher education institutions for the academic year 2025-2026 on Wednesday, July 23. The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) introduced key changes to end-of-term holidays to create a more flexible and consistent academic calendar across UAE-based universities. The announcement comes after the UAE Ministry of Education released a new structure for the academic calendar for schools starting from 2025–2026. Under the new structure, the university academic year will start on August 25, 2025, with major holidays aligning with the school calendar. These include a four-week winter break from December 8, 2025, to January 4, 2026, with classes resuming on January 5, 2026, as well as a two-week spring break from March 16 to 29, 2026, with classes resuming on March 30, 2026. The academic year will end on July 3, 2025, offering a clearer and more balanced schedule that supports students' learning and wellbeing. All UAE-based higher education institutions have been mandated to follow a unified academic year start and end date, with exceptions for international universities aligned with their home calendars. The mandate also allows flexibility in determining the start date of the academic year in line with the requirements of academic programmes and specialisations at higher education institutions, as well as flexibility in setting the end date of the academic year based on the timing of the summer semesters. This also allows for flexibility to adjust the holiday dates by up to one week before or after the specified dates, provided the holiday duration remains unchanged. Aligned with the 'Year of Community' objectives, the structure aims to foster family cohesion and support students through a balanced distribution of study and break periods.

Russian scientists develop first 3D-printed laryngeal implant to accelerate cancer recovery
Russian scientists from the National University of Science and Technology MISIS (NUST MISIS) have developed a method for the production of individual thyroid cartilage implants of the larynx. They are printed on a 3D bioprinter, taking into account the anatomical features of the patient, in order to surgically replace the lost area of the throat. Scientists already have a prototype of the product. According to the research team, the proposed technology is economically feasible and allows for the mass production of a medical product. Hyaline cartilage, which provides smooth sliding of the articular surfaces of the larynx, serves crucial protective and structural functions, supporting surrounding organs, preventing airway collapse, and acting as an anchor point for muscles and ligaments. However, in case of damage, it does not recover well due to the absence of blood vessels and the slow division of regenerative cells. Cancer patients often face this problem in the treatment of cancer, especially in the third or fourth stages, when the tumour grows into the larynx and the thyroid cartilage is removed. Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common cancers of the head and neck area. To address this, the scientists suggested printing a thermoplastic polyurethane mesh with subsequent thermoforming for a specific patient. To allow cells to attach to the surface of the mesh, scientists suggest coating it with collagen or applying a biocompatible polyelectrolyte complex of chitosan and polyglutamic acid, widely used in regenerative medicine.

Ajman University: Sole Middle East Recipient of Prestigious ICANN Grant to develop global internet security system
Ajman, UAE – Ajman University has secured a prestigious international grant from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) worth USD 410,300.00, in the inaugural cycle of the ICANN Grant Program. This competitive international award, secured through the dedicated efforts of Prof. Rao Naveed Bin Rais from the College of Engineering and Information Technology, will support the development of a groundbreaking system to archive and analyze global data related to the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) — a vital cybersecurity protocol that safeguards the integrity of Internet infrastructure. The project aims to build a 24/7 operational platform that analyzes historical DNSSEC data, identifies vulnerabilities, and highlights gaps in its global implementation. This first-of-its-kind system will offer diagnostic tools with visual analysis, helping enhance DNSSEC adoption worldwide. Ajman University is the only institution in the Middle East to receive this grant, and one of just 23 selected entities out of 247 global applicants. Out of 23 entities, only 3 are selected from Asia including Ajman University. Moreover, AU is also among the only five universities worldwide to receive the award — including three from Europe, one from Latin America, and Ajman University as the sole representative from Asia. This milestone reinforces Ajman University's global standing, particularly as it enabled the University to obtain U.S.-equivalent charitable organization status — a prerequisite for applying to this grant. This designation aligns with AU's identity as a non-profit academic institution and paves the way for securing additional international funding opportunities that support its academic and community missions. Being the only awardee from both the Middle East and the only university from the Asia highlights the University's ability to compete at the highest levels in fields such as cybersecurity and Internet governance. The grant-funded project represents a significant addition to the University's research and technological infrastructure. It involves the development of a passive, integrated system to collect and analyze DNSSEC data — the first of its kind globally — and is expected to boost AU's international visibility as global Internet community begins using the platform. The project will also include the establishment of a high-tech hardware lab on campus, further strengthening AU's capacity for applied research and innovation in digital infrastructure. The initiative promises to create research and training opportunities for AU graduates, while providing current students and researchers access to valuable datasets for research and development purposes — supporting their growth in analytical and technical skills. The project addresses a major global challenge related to the implementation of DNSSEC, a protocol strongly advocated by global Internet bodies like ICANN and IETF for securing the DNS ecosystem. In the adoption of DNSSEC protocol, one of the main obstacles has been the lack of visibility into global adoption and implementation gaps. Through the newly developed system, Ajman University seeks to bridge that gap by monitoring and analyzing DNSSEC adoption across Internet domain names worldwide. This project reflects Ajman University's strong commitment to leveraging scientific research in service of global challenges and underscores its active role in building secure and sustainable digital infrastructure that benefits academic and technical communities both locally and globally. About Ajman University Established in 1988 as the first private university in the GCC, Ajman University (AU) is a non-profit institution committed to delivering world-class education and empowering future leaders. With a strong emphasis on academic excellence, global engagement, and societal impact, AU continues to shape a diverse and inclusive learning environment that nurtures innovation and integrity. Ajman University earned full accreditation from the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) in 2024, becoming the first private and non-profit university in the UAE and the Arab world to achieve this prestigious distinction. In the 2026 QS World University Rankings, AU ranks #440 globally and #6 in the UAE, with a global ranking of #241 for Employer Reputation and #3 in the UAE.
