H.E. added: “The remarkable participation further reflects the commitment of institutions to share research knowledge and
expertise. It also highlights the key role of universities as major drivers in supporting government initiatives through applied
research that addresses both current and future challenges. Furthermore, it demonstrates a practical model of effective
collaboration between academic institutions and government entities in designing innovative, actionable solutions that
improve efficiency and contribute towards the sustainable development of Dubai and the UAE.”

In line with government objectives, submissions were divided into four themes, including Workplace Skills and Lifelong
Learning; Human Resources Management: Reality, Challenges, and Future; Developing Human Resources Systems and
Policies in Dubai Government; and Employee Wellbeing in the Work Environment. These themes provided researchers with
the opportunity to analyse pressing challenges linked to government work and propose practical solutions that advance

Dubai's administrative development. In addition, the wide range of topics allowed researchers to address critical issues
shaping the present and future of government human resources while delivering applicable proposals to improve
performance efficiency and strengthen long-term institutional development.

After the initial review, 49 papers met the eligibility criteria, which underscores the quality and diversity of the submissions.
These papers included innovative concepts and new perspectives that support the future of government work and reinforce

researchers' ability to deliver practical, creative proposals in areas such as skills development, policy enhancement, and
workplace improvement.

The evaluation procedure was conducted in partnership with participating universities and colleges. Eligible papers were
then referred to the universities' judging committees for a rigorous academic review, following clear benchmarks that
included innovation, originality, clarity of objectives, relevance of references, methodological soundness, analytical depth,
quality of results, and practical value and feasibility. In order to ensure integrity and transparency, members of the judging

committees signed confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements safeguarding the security of all data and information.

The evaluation process will extend for two months, with final results scheduled to be announced on October 29, 2025,
during the official Research Awards ceremony. During the event, winning papers will be honoured, along with showcasing of
the most remarkable ideas and research findings that meet the judging criteria.

The Dubai Government Human Resources supports governmental and academic entities to continue participating in future
editions of the awards while supporting a strategic vision that prioritises people and knowledge in comprehensive
development, in line with the wise leadership's ambition to position Dubai as a global hub of knowledge and creativity. The
Department underscores that the Research Awards is not only an academic competition, but also a sustainable research
movement aimed at promoting a culture of innovation and scientific inquiry within the government ecosystem. Moreover, it
offers a platform that convenes researchers, practitioners and decision-makers to develop practical, real-world solutions

capable of addressing challenges and anticipating the future.
