Description

Over the years, KFAS has successfully established three distinguished research and educational centers: The Scientific Center, the Dasman Diabetes Institute, and the Sabah Al Ahmad Center for Giftedness & Creativity. The centers are among KFAS’ most important and visible achievements. Further achievements include the collaborations with outstanding international research and academic institutions, such as
Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Oxford University, Sciences Po, and the London School of Economics and Political Science. These collaborations
are part of KFAS’ strategic approach towards engaging
national researchers and leaders to support the development of
a wider knowledge base in STI. Moreover, KFAS’ investments in
scientific research that are of prime importance to the state of Kuwait, focused on the areas of Water, Energy, and Environment, are another example of KFAS’ successful
achievements. While much has been accomplished by KFAS and other related scientific and educational institutions in Kuwait, there is still much to be done and that was recognized by His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, chairman of the Board of Directors at KFAS.
His Highness commissioned a blue ribbon panel to review the
performance and make recommendations for restructuring and
advancing STI (Science, Technology and Innovation) in Kuwait. The Kuwait Research and Review Panel (KRRP), convened in 2007, includes leading members of Kuwait’s science community as well as international experts in STI and R&D management. Most of the KRRP’s recommendations were adopted, and accordingly, KFAS updated its vision, mission and strategy.
KFAS’ current strategy (2012-2016) supports the national goals listed in Kuwait’s 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan, in addition to the goals listed in Kuwait’s Five Year Development Plan.
