In his opening remarks, H.E. Dr. Mansoor Al Awar emphasized that:“University leadership is no longer
confined to traditional academic management. It has become a forward-looking responsibility that
demands innovative thinking, the ability to build partnerships, and the foresight to anticipate change, in
order to ensure the sustainability and impact of universities in serving humanity and society.”

The session addressed three key themes:
The transformation of the university president's role from academic leadership to proactive, system-
oriented leadership.
Effective partnerships and governance as tools to strengthen trust and community impact.
Designing new leadership models built on flexibility, collaboration, and future-oriented outcomes.

The session witnessed dynamic engagement from participants, who underscored the need to prepare
a new generation of university leaders equipped with innovation tools and change-making abilities,
without compromising the core values of education and scientific research.

The session concluded with a clear call to develop a new leadership model in Islamic universities-one
that balances academic excellence with institutional agility and lays the foundation for a renewed
social contract between the university and society.
