The Humanities and Social Sciences Research Center (HSSRC) aims to organize major research projects and study important societal issues within the Emirati society and other cultural groups globally. HSSRC will provide a distinct climate of comprehensive research opportunities as well as an ability to attract high-quality scientific researchers through partnerships and collaborations. The center will promote innovative research, develop new generations of social scientists, deepen how inquiry is practiced within and across disciplines, and mobilize important knowledge on pressing community issues.
To become a leading Center in the Arab Middle East region we aim to provide services and support to address issues within the research fields of humanities, social sciences, community studies, and educational studies. This will give social scientists the ability to reach other professionals in government, non-profit organizations, shareholders, and the public to make research contributions to these fields easily accessible to address regional and global concerns today.
To strengthen research culture in humanities and social sciences that are related to community studies such as case studies and field studies in UAE society and that will contribute to educational and language studies programs. Furthermore, we are working with partners all over the world to connect research to practice and policy, to strengthen individual and institutional learning capacities, and to improve public access to information.
