Alumni Involvement in UD Research Projects

  † Through its Center for Research and Consultancy (UDCRC), the University of Dubai faculty members continue to generate valuable research that will help shape business and information technology in the 21st Century. As a UD family member, you have a unique opportunity to contribute to our research activities by either assisting professors to produce valuable research that will serve the business community or promote our Research and Consultancy Center to your own employers or your connections from the business field. The Alumni-Faculty research collaboration gives participants the expertise they are seeking, and engage them in research activities, including publishing and stay connected with professors, that would not have been available to them otherwise. More specifically, the benefits are:  

Monetary benefits	10% in the case alumni are involved as co-researcher. 20% in the case alumni bring a consultancy/ research project to the UDCREC. Alumni are opted to keep the income generated from their involvement in UD research and consultancy projects for themselves or donate the same to the UD Alumni Association.
Other benefits	Increased knowledge in the research field. Build close and meaningful relationship with university professors. Alumni name as co-researcher to be included in the research paper which will be published in refereed journals. Be granted Alumni Research Award – awarded to alumni who have presented or published their research/contributed to faculty research as co-researcher.

  Faculty members are very excited about the possibility of utilizing the help of both alumni and friends of the UD to create and publish research that will contribute to the advancement of the University and the community at large and look forward to your active participation.
