Tailored to meet the specific needs of the UAE's R&D ecosystem, the programme comprises carefully selected modules that encompass the entirety of the research and development journey. It brings together 22 carefully selected UAE nationals based on their roles in R&D management across 20 entities from the public, private and academic sectors.
The learning journey will span seven months and will incorporate a variety of learning methodologies to ensure that participants can effectively apply the knowledge and skills gained.
Participants in this programme will gain technical expertise in R&D and innovation management. The learning experience includes active participation in group assignments, site-visits, exchanging experiences with senior executives, analysing real-case studies, attending mentorship sessions and engaging in various interactive activities.
The programme was launched by Emirates Research & Development Council (ERDC) and will be overseen by Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology.
