Opportunity description

Abdul Hameed Shoman Arab Researchers Award is the first Arab award dedicated to scientific research, honoring Arab researchers. It was launched in 1982 by the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation to support scientific research in the Arab world.

The award is granted in recognition of outstanding research that contributes to advancing scientific knowledge and addressing local, regional, and global challenges. It encompasses six main fields, with two specific topics selected annually under each field.

Over its 42-year history, many recipients of this award have achieved significant scientific milestones, earning the award a distinguished reputation within the Arab academic community.
