I have had the distinct privilege of managing the Center on two separate occasions: first from 2012-2014, and now again in the current period. Managing a center of this nature—which encompasses developing academic studies and research, overseeing a specialized scientific library, and engaging the public through conferences and seminars—is a complex responsibility. It requires meticulous planning, organization, and a strategic vision aligned with Kuwait University's overarching goals.
Embracing this challenge, we have developed a clear and focused plan for the Center's next phase. We are committed to achieving its objectives through the concerted efforts of our dedicated team.
The strategic plan was built upon a comprehensive scientific and administrative framework, organized into four key themes:
- Administrative Development: Streamlining internal projects and programs (4 key initiatives).
- Technical Advancement: Implementing critical infrastructure and technology projects (7 key initiatives).
- Community Engagement: Expanding outreach through awareness, training, and communication (10 key initiatives).
- Research & Scholarship: Fostering intellectual growth with dedicated research projects (11 key initiatives).
Through the successful execution of this plan, the Center aims to solidify its distinct role within Kuwait University's educational and research ecosystem. We are committed to active collaboration with relevant sectors and institutions to enhance our impact and fully achieve our mission.
