The fifth edition of the Arab Award Forum concluded in Dubai after two impactful days of

discussions and knowledge exchange. Hosted by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Knowledge Award (MBRKA), an initiative of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge
Foundation (MBRF), the forum gathered representatives from 35 of the Arab world’s top

awards, along with leading thought leaders, scientists, and knowledge experts from across the
region. The forum is part of MBRF’s ongoing efforts to foster creativity and intellectual

innovation, while enhancing collaboration and cooperation among Arab awards.

This edition featured the fifth General Assembly meeting of the forum, held at the Mohammed

bin Rashid Library (MBRL). The meeting reviewed the awards that recently joined the forum,
explored the new Arab Awards Platform launched by the Arab Thought Foundation (ATF), and
outlined the assembly’s upcoming activities. Additionally, the meeting highlighted the forum’s

official website and the online platforms of participating awards. A key highlight was the review
of a study titled ‘The State of Arab Awards,’ led by Dr. Ashraf Al-Izzazi, Secretary-General of

the Supreme Council of Culture in Egypt.

Following this meeting, attendees explored various sections of MBRL, gaining insights into its
extensive collections of books and valuable historical manuscripts that document the

development of human knowledge. An orientation workshop was also conducted to familiarize
participants with the Integrated ISO Guide for Quality Management Systems in Knowledge,
Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence, an important initiative by MBRF.
