(Misk), which underscores both parties’ shared commitment to strengthening cooperation,
combining resources for the benefit of various social segments, and promoting social and

economic growth. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Award (MBRKA) further
reinforces the MBRF's global support for numerous projects and initiatives in the education and
innovation fields, fostering innovation and developing creative solutions to address educational

challenges. The MBRKA aims to encourage knowledge pioneers, and those facilitating the
exchange of information and shaping a stimulating environment.

The MBRKA encompasses all academic domains and development facets, such as innovation,
entrepreneurship, and learning systems, as well as the advancement of scientific research. It
further addresses how communication technology is developing to make it less difficult for

individuals to gather and share knowledge, how documented knowledge can be conveyed through
printing and publishing, and how knowledge continuity can be ensured through paper and

electronic documentation.

As part of its ongoing efforts to preserve and expand the Arabic language’s use and learning
opportunities, the MBRF has recently signed an agreement with the

Akdemistanbul Language Center. The MBRF also took part in the commemoration of Arab
Language Day 2023, which was organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and

Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
