We develop and create a successful strategy.
The Emirates Scholar Center for Research and Studies (ESCRS) is an independent center that seeks to enrich public dialogue, and decision support, and to promote academic research related to future trends.
ESCRS was established to take responsibility for research development in the United Arab Emirates and the Arab region. As stated in its founding agreement, our mission is to contribute to the development of scientific research in the United Arab Emirates.
We monitor current and potential trends, unconventional ideas, and impending phenomena that contribute to shaping the future in the short term. especially in the Gulf region, we analyze and evaluate them. In addition, we present perceived alternatives for dealing with trends using advanced methodologies and scholarly activities that engage academics, researchers, and public figures from the UAE and abroad.
The Emirates Scholar Portal encourages and enhances academic research. This activity contributes to diagnosing critical administrative issues. We seek to spread management thought through research, book writing, translation, holding conferences and seminars, and preparing reports on administrative development in the country.
The goal of the Emirates Scholar Center for Research and Studies (ESCRS) is to advance research study and thereby contribute to the evidence basis supporting research planning, assessment, and policy practice. Our objective is a future where choices based on such facts benefit both science and society.
In addition, establishing a connection between scientific bodies as well as government and private institutions to highlight the significance and role of scientific research utilizing advanced methodologies and scientific activities that highlight academics, researchers, and public figures from the United Arab Emirates and abroad.
