Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) has launched the second cycle of its Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) Grant Initiative, calling on universities and research institutions in Dubai to submit proposals that tackle pressing challenges across technology, health, and urban development. The initiative, part of the broader Dubai RDI Programme launched by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in 2024, aims to fund high-impact, future-focused research aligned with Dubai's strategic priorities. Applications for the second cycle are open until June 13 via their website. This cycle focuses on two core domains: Cognitive Cities and Health & Life Sciences. The former covers areas such as smart mobility, climate-resilient infrastructure, urban health intelligence, and next-generation city design. The latter includes research in clinical health, biomanufacturing, systems science, and medical innovation. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to submit full proposals, with selected projects receiving funding for up to three years. Evaluation criteria include relevance to Dubai's innovation agenda, potential for partnerships, scalability, and long-term impact. In its inaugural cycle, the initiative funded 24 projects from 13 academic institutions, chosen from 374 submissions. Over 200 researchers across career stages participated, with a strong focus on artificial intelligence and robotics in health and urban systems. Khalifa Al Qama, Executive Director at Dubai Future Labs, said the programme empowers researchers and innovators to bring transformative ideas to life, positioning Dubai as a global hub for knowledge and technology. With AED750 million allocated for Phase Two of the Dubai RDI Programme, the grant initiative is a key driver in building a diverse, sustainable digital economy and advancing Dubai's global competitiveness.

Sharjah foundation's bakery initiative to feed 20,000 people in Gaza
Daily bread and meals will be provided to 20,000 people affected by the war in Gaza through a bakery initiative launched by Sharjah Charity International. Implemented in collaboration with Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the project aims to support children, the elderly and displaced families amid worsening food insecurity and the risk of famine in the region. The initiative comes at a monthly cost of AED750,000. According to Abdullah Sultan bin Khadem, Executive Director of Sharjah Charity International, the organisation has previously drilled 12 wells and operated field kitchens to help meet humanitarian needs in Gaza. It comes as Israel, under international pressure, lifted 11-week aid blockade to allow 100 aid trucks carrying flour, baby food and medical supplies into Gaza on Wednesday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the government would consider a temporary ceasefire to facilitate the return of hostages but affirmed plans to continue the military campaign in Gaza. Despite the limited entry of aid - 98 trucks on Monday and Tuesday - many supplies have yet to reach local bakeries, markets and hospitals. Aid officials report that Gaza's soup kitchens and food distribution networks remain critically undersupplied.
