               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,

               Supreme Council of Culture in Egypt.

               extensive collections  of books and valuable historical manuscripts that document the

               development of human knowledge. An orientation workshop was also conducted to familiarize
