In 2020, the Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence - MBZUAI opened their doors and welcomed the first admission of students, the anniversary observed at the end of last year acknowledged MBZUAI’s achievements throughout the period from 2020 to 2025. Old and new came together in a unique collaboration when the newly formed Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), an AI-focused institution based in Abu Dhabi, created a fruitful and dynamic partnership in 2020 with the almost–century old Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
The collaboration began with a Memorandum of Understanding signed in September 2020 following the normalization of relations between the two nations, marking a major, first-of-its-kind partnership between UAE and Israeli academic institutions. Their common goal is to drive the broader utilisation of AI in health care biomedical research. The foundation of this partnership is the sharing of resources and knowledge to foster a greater culture of collaboration and boost AI innovation in the biomedical space. This is being done through joint training programs and research projects in both basic and translational research, as well as setting up exchange programs for staff and students. Now entering its sixth year, this alliance has undoubtedly benefited both institutions and can serve as a model for similar cross-border and cross-cultural cooperation in the future.
