10 ENTITIES WILL FORESEE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGY

The National Advanced Science Agenda 2031 will be implemented with the participation of 10 entities and through setting up councils on the priority sector level.

It aims to create a homogenous scientific environment that supports realising the objectives of the UAE Centennial Plan 2071 by backing science and sectors related to science and technology outputs.

The agenda outlines the UAE’s scientific approaches towards 2031 by working to bring about the objectives of UAE Centennial Plan 2071 through three consecutive strategies starting with 2018-2021. The 2031 agenda focuses on using sciences to devise solutions to challenges and exploring economically viable opportunities by working on eight scientific priorities up to 2031 and 30 scientific targets up to 2021.

The eight scientific priorities aim to make the most of all strategic natural resources in the country through national capacitybuilding, promotion of the sustainable energy sector, enhancement of water security using advanced and clean technology, and development of an advanced scientific food security system. The priorities also aim to address health challenges in the UAE through a national scientific system and developing advanced industries sector, in addition to building a system of logistical support based on scientific studies and data and creating strategic industries complex.

The agenda also aims to develop four enablers including economic information services, and promoting entrepreneurship.
