HBMSU’s contribution involves the promotion of a culture of research and innovative

and excellence-driven standards in education. This is achieved through a strategic

partnership with ICDE in organising the Pre-conference Global Doctoral Consortium

(GDC) session. This collaboration aimed to empower and support doctoral students in
their research within the fields of smart, electronic, open, and distance learning

throughout their academic journey towards earning a Ph.D.

Dr Mansoor Alawar, Chancellor of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU),

actively engages in international forums of smart education. This commitment was the

driving force behind our participation in the ICDE World Conference 2023, enhancing

the international standing of HBMSU and reinforcing the principles of innovation and

excellence in education development. Additionally, our participation in these globally
renowned conferences solidifies the University’s partnerships on the education map

with major institutions, councils, and international organisations. This aligns with the

vision of the leadership of the UAE, the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, HBMSU President.”
