DIPW launches ‘Scientific Translation’ and ‘Scientific Article’

workshops during Cairo International Book Fair

31 January 2025- The Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW), a leading initiative by the

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), launched two groundbreaking
workshops titled ‘Scientific Translation’ and ‘Scientific Article’ during its participation in the Cairo

International Book Fair, held from 23 January to 5 February 2025.

These innovative workshops aim to encourage and support exceptional young talents in enhancing

their writing skills, thereby fostering the next generation of researchers and innovators in the Arab
world.

The ‘Scientific Article’ workshop is designed for those involved in journalism and media professions
who specialize in writing scientific articles. It aims to train a group of young journalists interested

in environmental and scientific topics and related subjects. The workshop further offers
participants the fundamental language and research skills required to write articles across various

topics, such as technology, medical sciences, and space sciences, among others. Participants of this
workshop produce in-depth articles of at least 2,000 words, written in a clear, simple manner that

is easily comprehensible to the average reader.

This workshop serves as an introductory platform for individuals who seek to explore scientific

research and similar articles. This supports the development of human capital and aligns seamlessly
with MBRF’s steadfast commitment to enriching the Arabic library with outstanding and

accomplished researchers who possess valuable skills beyond literature. The goal is to utilize young
talents’ skills and capacities to create a sustainable and innovation-driven intellectual community

in the Arab world.

The ‘Scientific Translation’ workshop represents a vital part of DIPW’s initiatives. This workshop
aims to provide training for participants in specialized scientific translation, equipping them with

the necessary tools and skills to translate books alongside experts and professional trainers from

various fields. It enhances participants’ abilities and skills, empowering them to create and share
scientific content in Arabic. The primary objective is to make this content accessible to researchers,

students, enthusiasts, and research centers.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, emphasized that the aim of these workshops
is to bridge the gap between the academic and research needs of the workforce and the potential

talents of the youth. H.E. stated: “Our objective is to establish a comprehensive ecosystem that
promotes a culture of scientific excellence and equips young talents with the necessary resources

for proficient academic writing and precise translation. This enables effective communication

between Arabic materials and the international scientific community.”
