ISESCO enhances knowledge partnerships for sustainable development
More knowledge-based world The Office is keen to implement a set of qualitative programmes and initiatives that contribute to translating ISESCO's vision for a more knowledge-based world. This is achieved by enhancing communication with academic and research institutions, as well as cultural and development institutions within and outside the United Arab Emirates, with a view to cooperation among the countries of the Islamic world and building sustainable bridges of cultural and scientific integration. This builds on the successful projects implemented in previous periods that have contributed to supporting the education system, in addition to actively contributing to organizing academic events and meetings that enhance opportunities for intellectual convergence and open broader avenues for cooperation between relevant institutions. Supporting the knowledge economy In this context, the ISESCO Regional Office in Sharjah is working to expand the scope of its joint programmes to include the development of initiatives in the fields of science, technology, and artificial intelligence. This is in line with global trends in supporting the knowledge economy and enhancing the position of scientific institutions in the Islamic world as a soft power contributing to building the future. Nurturing entrepreneurial environment Focusing on continuing to launch innovative educational and cultural projects aimed at supporting local skills and competencies and nurturing the entrepreneurial environment is also being emphasised. These projects also contribute to the development of language and culture and the strengthening of cultural identity in light of the challenges of accelerating globalisation. Organising scientific events The Office also continues to develop its plan and partnerships to organise scientific conferences and forums that bring together academic elites, experts, and researchers from various Member States. These events provide effective platforms for dialogue and cooperation and foster a spirit of scientific solidarity among Islamic societies, in line with the Emirate of Sharjah's vision as a regional and international hub for knowledge, culture, and innovation. His Excellency Salem Omar Salem, Director of the ISESCO Regional Office in Sharjah, emphasised that the Office is keen to expand partnerships and cooperation with national, regional, and international institutions to support education and scientific research, empower youth, and enhance the Islamic world's contribution to building a knowledge society. Achieving the sustainable development goals Salem explained that the focus in the next phase will be on continuing to support projects that have positive impacts on societies and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through pioneering initiatives in the fields of innovation, training, and cultural and educational empowerment, particularly in various fields.
