DUBAI, 9th October, 2024 (WAM) -- The Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW), one of the
leading knowledge initiatives by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation
(MBRF), launched the ‘Scientific Translation’ workshop to emphasise the role of scientific
translation in producing and increasing Arabic scientific content.

Held virtually under the supervision of Dr. Ghanim Al Samerrai, the workshop brought together 13
young translators with the aim of enhancing their skills and abilities in scientific translation.

The objective of this workshop is to advance MBRF’s contribution to the production and
dissemination of scientific content in Arabic, highlighting the essential role of translation in this
regard.

Translation connects languages, cultures, and peoples, enabling the transfer of modern scientific
research and discoveries to different languages and expanding the reach of its beneficiaries.
Dr. Ghanim Al Samerrai said, “The ‘Scientific Translation’ workshop aligns perfectly with DIPW’s
efforts to enhance the knowledge and translation movement in the Arab World as well as enriching
the Arabic knowledge production. Through this workshop, we aim to underline the instrumental role
of scientific translation in making the most recently published global research and studies
