Strategic Programs to Shape the Future
At the Scientific Advisory Council, we focus our efforts on a limited number of high-impact, qualitative initiatives, meticulously designed to bridge knowledge gaps.
National Program for Ethical Artificial Intelligence
This program constitutes one of the fundamental pillars of the Council's national strategy for 2025. We aim not merely to develop AI technologies, but also to integrate standards of ethics and transparency into the various stages of building systems and algorithms. The program focuses on establishing clear principles for the responsible use of modern technologies, ensuring the protection of society from potential risks and enhancing public trust in AI applications. The program also provides a practical framework linking research funding with applied testing, in addition to specialized workshops that empower developers and researchers to adopt more committed and professional practices.
"Ibtikar" Research Grant Fund
In response to urgent environmental challenges, the Council launched the "Ibtikar" Fund, dedicated to supporting applied research in the fields of clean energy, water desalination, and food security. The Fund is distinguished by its focus on solutions that can be practically applied in arid and semi-arid environments, encouraging projects that rely on modern, scalable technologies capable of real-world implementation. The fund also aims to enhance the capacities of young researchers and empower scientific institutions to develop innovative models that contribute to addressing environmental challenges in a practical and sustainable manner.
National Innovation Center for Future Studies
This center provides an advanced platform for analyzing scientific and technological trends and shaping the contours of the national future. It works to collect data from local and international sources, processing it through intelligent analytical tools to generate insights that support development and investment in vital sectors. Furthermore, the center contributes to identifying promising opportunities, monitoring potential risks, and guiding policies toward more efficient and sustainable pathways. At its core, it aims to empower the nation to build a renewable knowledge economy grounded in science, innovation, and evidence-based planning.
Idea Incubation Path
We accompany researchers and innovators on a structured journey that begins with a raw idea and ends with a product or policy applicable in the real world.
1. Assessment & Filtering
Rigorous review of proposals by specialized scientific committees to ensure feasibility and impact.
2. Seed Funding
Providing financial grants to develop Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and conduct field studies.
3. Mentorship & Guidance
Connecting research teams with industry experts to develop growth and expansion strategies.
4. Launch & Empowerment
Assisting in marketing and establishing partnerships to ensure project sustainability and success.
Global Strategic Alliances
We do not operate in isolation from the world. Our strength lies in a vast network of partnerships connecting local expertise with prestigious international institutions.
