Supporting the global scientific community during the crisis in the Ukraine

Over the last several weeks, the UAE has watched with growing concern the situation unfolding in Ukraine. As a nation keenly committed to upholding humanitarian values, the UAE has repeatedly stressed the efforts to address the humanitarian impact of the crisis.

TII is shaping a global innovation hub here in Abu Dhabi. In just over a year, we have convened a diverse community of leading scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and researchers from across the world. We have established a global research center based on foundational values of curiosity, excellence, integrity, and respect.

As we build our role within the global community of scientists and researchers, we are guided by our purpose of researching without fear to pioneer tomorrow’s advanced technologies.

In partnership with Emirati universities, we are launching the TII Scholarship Program to enable eligible students, researchers, and scientists affected by the conflict in Ukraine to pursue undergraduate, postgraduate, and post-doctoral studies with us in the UAE.
