Great Arab Minds Award
The Great Arab Minds Award honours the lifelong achievements of brilliant Arabs, whose work has contributed to shaping a better future for humanity. The annual award recognises six individuals across the following six categories:
- natural sciences
- medicine
- literature and arts
- economics
- engineering and technology
- architecture and design.
Valued at AED 1 million, the award is presented each year to one individual per category, to be used to fund their research and projects.
The award aims to highlight the potential of people from Arab backgrounds. It seeks to create opportunities and a knowledge hub in the region while countering the fallout of the brain drain seen across the Arab world.
