Who We Are

Supporting research that meets national and regional needs

The AUE Research Office supports faculty members' and students' contributions to resolving current and future challenges of the UAE and GCC region through innovative, high-quality applied research. The research agenda is aligned with the UAE's vision, directions, and initiatives in parallel with AUE's academic degrees and disciplines. The University commits institutional support for encouraging and engaging faculty to accelerate national and international research achievements — bringing together leading minds representing a broad range of perspectives and expertise, and endorsing the individual and collaborative accomplishments of its faculty, staff, and students.

Our Goals

Five strategic goals guiding our research agenda

Every initiative we support is grounded in one of these institutional priorities.

01

Lead Teaching & Discovery

To be one of the leading teaching, learning, and research institutions in the United Arab Emirates, and to promote a spirit of research and discovery at AUE.

02

Support High-Quality Research

To support faculty members pursuing high-quality research driven by knowledge acquisition, innovation, and knowledge transfer.

03

Elevate Ranking & Visibility

To promote and support quality research and contribute to the University's ranking and visibility pertaining to research.

04

Expand Cooperation

To expand research cooperation with other institutions, institutes, government agencies, and industries.

05

Empower Student Research

To offer research assistance to students through workshops and seminars on the technical knowhow of research, and to encourage an entrepreneurial culture among AUE graduate and undergraduate students.

Our Mission

To offer a collaborative research environment in key strategic areas, in line with the UAE and AUE's research priorities for economic and social development and technological innovation.

Our Teams

Two teams driving the research office forward

The Research Office has two teams, each focused on a distinct part of the research lifecycle.

Research Support Unit

Provides day-to-day support to faculty and students pursuing research — from proposal development and workshops to guidance on research methodology and funding opportunities.

Patents, Grants & Scientific Publications Unit

Manages the intellectual property pipeline, internal and external grant applications, and supports faculty in publishing peer-reviewed scientific work.

Faculty Research

Empowering a culture of research excellence

AUE's research strategic goal is to empower and encourage a culture of research excellence focused on the challenges of economic and social development of the United Arab Emirates.

AUE faculty members are expected to be productive across all three areas of intellectual contribution:

1

Basic or Discovery Scholarship

2

Applied / Integration & Application Scholarship

3

Teaching & Learning Scholarship
