DIPW launches ‘Scientific Translation’ workshop to

increase Arab scientific content

By News Desk 2 October 9, 2024

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 emphasize 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 accessible in different

languages to a broader audience, including the members of the scientific community and its institutions,
researchers, students, and research centers.”
