The decision came after the members of the Board of Trustees were briefed on many regional and global experiences in the field of Appreciation Awards, and after many professors and researchers participating in the competitions expressed their desire to present scientific research papers at the highest levels and suitable for publication in peer-reviewed international journals. Based on this decision, the participants in the scientific competitions for The Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Award will be allowed, starting from this current Eleventh Season, to present research papers in either the Arabic or English languages.
Regarding the new decision, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Award, the Dignitary Khalid Mohamed Kanoo, confirmed that the decision to adopt English as a second language for writing the research papers accepted by the Award in its competitions comes within the framework of the Award’s keenness to keep pace with developments that have occurred in the field of research writing, stressing that The Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Award, since its establishment 25 years ago, has been concerned primarily with the content of the research papers and the level of usefulness which it provides sciences of all kinds with. The Dignitary Khalid Kanoo expressed his thanks and appreciation to the heads of local and Gulf universities and academic institutions and the researchers participating in the Award competitions in the current and previous seasons for their proposals that are in the interest of advancing the Award.
It is worth noting that The Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Award announced three competitions for the Eleventh Season, which are the Economies Competition entitled (Corona Pandemic and Economic Recovery) and its prize is 30 thousand dollars, the Scientific Research Competition in cooperation with Bahrain Polytechnic on the topic of employing technology in the service of humanity, and the Fine Arts Competition, which revolves around the topic of Bahraini women.
The idea of the award came as an embodiment of the thoughts and ambitions of the Dignitary Ahmed Bin Ali Kanoo, may Allah have mercy on him, who served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of The Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Group of Companies for the period (1952-1997), so that it holds the name of the first founder of the group, Haji Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo, may Allah have mercy on him, in commemoration of his tribute. The Award’s Board of Trustees is currently headed by the Dignitary Khalid bin Mohamed Kanoo, who is carrying with him the project of developing the Award with a comprehensive vision that aims to encourage creative youth groups to take an interest in science and culture. 47 participants won the Award until the Tenth Season.
