EAD and UAE University sign MoU

The Environment Agency- Abu Dhabi (EAD) and the UAE University (UAEU) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote co-operation in the fields of scientific research and building capacities.

Majid Ali Al Mansouri, EAD's Secretary-General, said both parties will exchange data and benefit from a wide variety of opportunities in research to face growing environmental challenges.

EAD will also support the university's efforts to establish a Centre of Excellence in Water Resources Management and an Abu Dhabi gene bank. This gene bank, which is a project that EAD commissioned the university to carry out, will help conserve the UAE's native plants by restoring the botanical heritage of the country.
