H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and President of the University of Sharjah, attended the honouring ceremony for the 21st Sharjah Award for the Best PhD Thesis in Administrative Sciences in the Arab World. The event took place in the Al Biruni Hall at the University of Sharjah. Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed honoured Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Adel Ramadan from Egypt, the first-place winner in Administrative Sciences for his thesis on consumer behaviour towards substandard food products. Dr. Mohammed Jameel Mohammed from Jordan received second place for his work on hospital accreditation in Jordan. No third place was awarded, nor were any top positions in the Financial Sciences category, due to the high standards not being met. Sponsors and scientific committee members were also honoured. The ceremony began with the UAE national anthem and a Quran recitation, followed by a video presentation about the award’s history, goals, and this year’s submissions. The award encourages documenting administrative practices in the Arab world, promoting studies that address real-world problems, and disseminating findings for practical use. Key evaluation criteria include the originality of the research, methodology, literature review, findings, and recommendations. The winners presented summaries of their theses and discussed their research findings. The award ceremony was attended by several prominent figures alongside the President of the University of Sharjah, including Dr. Mansour Mohammed Bin Nassar, Head of the Legal Department of the Sharjah Government; Dr. Mohammed Khamis Al Othmani, Director-General of the Police Science Academy in Sharjah; Dr. Hamid Majoul Al Nuaimi, Chancellor of the University of Sharjah and Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Sharjah Award for the Best PhD Thesis in Administrative Sciences in the Arab World.
