In alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University is taking confident strides toward strengthening its leadership role in building a knowledge-based economy, with scientific research standing at the core of this mission to empower critical thinking, creativity, and sustainable development.
At the Deanship of Scientific Research, our mission goes far beyond promoting publications or running programs. We strive to foster an intellectually vibrant environment that inspires researchers to pursue impactful, solution-driven projects that serve both humanity and national priorities.
Today, research excellence is a key indicator of a nation’s progress. Universities are no longer limited to teaching roles—they are vital agents of change and development. That is why we are committed to providing researchers with continuous intellectual and advisory support, enabling them to refine their ideas, sharpen their methodologies, and contribute meaningfully to real-world solutions, we believe that true innovation flourishes when ideas are nurtured, and efforts are recognized. Every researcher who is empowered can be a turning point in the national scientific journey. Our goal is to ensure that the research conducted within our university contributes not only to academic discourse but to societal transformation.
Our Deanship also places great importance on building research capabilities, and forging strong collaborations across public institutions, private sectors, and research bodies. We recognize the growing significance of interdisciplinary approaches in tackling pressing challenges such as health, environment, energy, food security, and digital transformation.
In an era where the pace of change is unprecedented and the gap between knowledge creation and consumption is widening, our responsibility is to redefine our role—not just as producers of knowledge but as catalysts of progress who bring national visions to life and transform challenges into opportunities.
Ultimately, we reaffirm our commitment to being a source of knowledge empowerment, and a bridge that connects academia with society—under the wise leadership that firmly believes science is the path to progress, and innovation is the engine of a sustainable future.
