(MENAFN- Dubai PR Network) Dubai, UAE, 6 November 2024- The Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) will announce the 8th Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum Knowledge Award (MBRKA) winners at the Knowledge Summit 2024. Under the

patronage of His Highness sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and
Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, the summit, which is co-hosted with the United

Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre
(DWTC) on 18 - 19 November under the theme 'Future Skills and AI Economy.'

MBRKA honors thought leaders and trailblazers in knowledge and innovation, recognizing

individuals and institutions with transformative ideas and achievements.

The winners of MBRKA 2024 will be announced alongside the summit's extensive lineup of
sessions, activities, and insightful workshops. By recognizing individuals and institutions who

have made significant contributions to the dissemination and creation of knowledge locally
and globally, the award will highlight their exceptional research and intellectual efforts that can

positively impact society.

Due to its global and institutional nature, which allows for the nomination of creators and
innovators, in addition to government entities, companies, institutions, and associations, as

well as local, regional, and international organizations, MBRKA has honored a distinct group
of individuals and institutions over the past decade.

The 2022 edition of the awards recognized the 'Hope Probe' of the Emirates Mars Mission for

being the first Arab mission to reach Mars orbit in 2021, and the 'Lindau Nobel Laureate
Meeting' for its significant contributions to the exchange of knowledge between various

generations. Additionally, Dr. Katalin Karikó, a biologist and researcher, and Dr. Drew
Weismann, who leads a laboratory focused on the study of RNA and innate immune system

biology, won the award in 2022 for developing COVID-19 vaccines, only a few months before
they were announced as Nobel Prize laureates in Medicine in 2023. Dr. Chang Yongsheng,
