He highlighted the prestigious legacy of the award, which was established in 2001 by His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and founder of the University of Sharjah. Sheikh Sultan's belief in the importance of fostering administrative and financial culture within Arab institutions led to the establishment of the award. Dr Agamy noted that the award has evolved over the years into a distinguished Arab platform that encourages researchers to produce applied and field-based studies addressing real-world challenges. It supports development in the administrative and financial fields and raises awareness of sound and transparent governance. Dr Agamy praised the vital role of Sheikh Sultan the university president in supporting education and knowledge through his generous patronage of the award.

He highlighted that winning research contributes to improving the administrative and financial landscape in the Arab world and represents a qualitative addition to the Arabic academic library.

These included 55 in administrative sciences, 69 in financial sciences, and 7 in other fields. Following a rigorous and impartial evaluation process, the committee selected the two best theses in administrative sciences and one in financial sciences. Since the award's launch in 2001, a total of 55 winners have been recognised, all of whom represent a vanguard of Arab researchers who have contributed to the development of administrative and financial thought in the region. The ceremony featured visual presentations by the winning researchers, each of whom gave a detailed overview of their award-winning thesis. These presentations highlighted the research problems, objectives, methodology, key findings, and recommendations.
