A distinctive element of NYUAD is a robust research environment, one that supports the disciplinary areas of the curriculum, creates collaborations in new and exciting interdisciplinary fields, nurtures the development of graduate programs, and supports research of the highest quality on topics of importance and relevance to Abu Dhabi and to our world today. NYUAD is creating an environment that stimulates advanced research, scholarship, and creative activity.
The strategy for developing research at NYUAD is multifaceted: recruitment of outstanding Abu Dhabi-based faculty; engagement of leading NYUNY faculty to contribute to the teaching and research at NYUAD, and to foster collaborations across the global network university; NYUAD Institute funding to support the development of advanced research centers, laboratories, and scholarly initiatives, and to support scholarly conferences, seminars, and workshops to facilitate scholarly exchange and local, regional, and international collaborations; preparedness to respond to specific research needs of Abu Dhabi that are identified through its social and economic development plans; and development of both a comprehensive undergraduate research program to ensure that students are immersed in the scholarship of a research university and graduate degrees to foster the next generation of scientists, engineers, and scholars.
