ABU DHABI, 6th May, 2025 (WAM) -- The Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with Zayed University,
has launched the ‘Modern Heritage Research Grants’ programme, a strategic initiative aligned with
the national efforts to preserve and promote the UAE’s modern architectural heritage.

The programme aims to support and encourage comprehensive research on the country’s
architectural legacy from the 1960s through the 1990s and is endorsed by the ‘Sustainable Impact’
seal from Majra – the National CSR Fund.

The programme will award up to 20 grants to individuals, researchers, and enthusiasts who will
critically examine the UAE’s modern architecture and its regional connections.
By fostering research, the initiative seeks to fill key knowledge gaps, raise awareness, and
strengthen collaboration between academic institutions and the wider community.
