UCF and Al Akhawayn University in Morocco signed a memorandum of understanding Thursday creating an international partnership to promote faculty exchanges, joint classes, research and other activities.<\/p>\n

The agreement was signed by UCF President Dale Whittaker and AUI President Driss Ouaouicha at the FAIRWINDS Alumni Center before a contingent of visiting dignitaries from Morocco, including Princess Lalla Joumala Alaoul, who is Morocco\u2019s ambassador to the United States, and 15 traveling Moroccan journalists covering the story.<\/p>\n

AUI and UCF have much to gain by working together, particularly by offering our students and faculty an amazing opportunity to build sustainable relationships,\u201d said UCF Provost Elizabeth Dooley.<\/p>\n

The agreement has been in the works about a year since UCF co-sponsored a conference in Casablanca, Morocco, on water, energy and food security. Afterward, the UCF contingent visited the AUI campus in the town of Ifrane.<\/p>\n

That visit to Morocco was followed up by another joint conference at UCF sponsored by the two institutions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tRead More\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

The American University in Cairo recently hosted events at their New Cairo campus featuring UCF\u2019s Hakan Ozoglu, Ph.D. and David Dumke.<\/p>\n

Dr.\u00a0\u00a0Ozoglu, a professor in the Department of History and Chairman of the Middle East Studies Program, spoke about the transition from the Ottoman Empire to Turkish Republic. Dumke, Director of the Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Program for Strategic Research and Studies (PMBF) and Middle East Initiatives, discussed the American political landscape and how the November midterm elections could change U.S. foreign policy.<\/p>\n

The Cairo talks also marked the start of a new faculty exchange initiative between the PMBF Program and AUC\u2019s Prince Alwalid Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud Center for American Studies (CASAR).<\/p>\n

We want to thank AUC for arranging our visit. Dr. Ozoglu and I were impressed by the interest of the AUC community on topics both historic and current. And, as is the often the case, we learned a great deal from the questions we were asked. We are also pleased that our visit will help open the doors for others at UCF to listen, learn, and talk about the issues that draw our nations together,\u201d said Dumke.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tRead More\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

PMBF Director Speaks at House of Lords<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

The Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Program for Strategic Research & Studies\u00a0continues to work through a busy summer schedule, highlighted by a presentation to the Parliament of the United Kingdom by PMBF Director David Dumke. Dumke was a guest of the Right Honorable Lord Ahmed of Rotherham. He spoke to the House of Lords on July 9 about diplomacy and protocol in the Islamic world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an honor to speak to such an august audience at such a distinguished setting. It is always important to discuss key issues, and understanding how others see and interact with the world is important to decision-makers in the West, be they in London, Washington, Tallahassee or elsewhere,\u201d noted Dumke.<\/p>\n

Dumke spoke at a special symposium organized and moderated by Lord Ahmed, and was joined by several other notable experts. The symposium, \u201cDiplomacy and Protocol in Islam,\u201d was timed around the publication of a book with a similar title written by Saudi Prince Faisal bin Mishal bin Saud Al Saud. The Prince has written a series of books about Islam and Saudi governance. He currently is governor of Al Qassim Region. Prince Faisal has long been supportive of UCF\u2019s efforts to build relations in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Lord Ahmed, who in 1998 became the first Muslim appointed to the House of Lords, has worked continuously to promote understanding of Islam and build bridges between the West and Islamic worlds. This includes numerous undertakings in the United States to support programs like UCF\u2019s PMBF Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are appreciative of Lord Ahmed for providing us a platform to not only discuss and debate important concepts, but to promote UCF\u2019s efforts to increase knowledge and awareness. We look forward to future events and would welcome working with Parliament in the future,\u201d added Dumke.<\/p>\n

The London event was cosponsored by NAAM Association, a non-government organization devoted to cultural dialog which is headed largely by Saudi civic and business leaders. NAAM often partners with other non-government organizations to accomplish dialog and social development goals.<\/p>\n

In addition to the House of Lords, PMBF participated in a series of international events on Middle East-related issues this summer. This included three events in Washington, DC, and a conference in Madrid, Spain. Topics ranged from water and food security issues to U.S. relations with Egypt and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The Impact of Social and Economic Reforms on Saudi Youth\u201d Conference will focus on younger Saudis, recent reforms, and opportunities for American collaboration.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n

The University of Central Florida and Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University will host \u201cThe Impact of Social and Economic Reforms on Saudi Youth\u201d January 17-18, 2019, in Orlando. The conference will be held at the UCF Student Union, Pegasus Ballroom, and is being organized by the UCF Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Program for Strategic Research and Studies.<\/p>\n

The conference will focus on the Saudi Vision 2030 plan, which calls for the Kingdom to decrease its dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and increase employment opportunities for Saudi citizens \u2013 particularly the youth which comprise a high percentage of the population. It is hoped the 2030 reforms will further develop public service sectors such as health, education, recreation, tourism, and infrastructure. Reforms are also creating new areas in which U.S. and Saudi businesses, universities, institutions, and individuals can cooperate. The conference will permit educators, practitioners, students, and members of the business community to participate in an innovative and interdisciplinary discussion focusing on the impact of reforms, particularly on the sizable youth population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conference will provide a unique and timely platform to discuss the changes that are underway in the Kingdom, and crucially their transformative impact on Saudi youth. This is the key demographic bloc in the Kingdom. There are also enormous business, educational, and cultural opportunities in working with younger Saudis, which Vision 2030 recognizes. We feel it is important to have this conversation in Central Florida so we understand the changes and their potential for Saudis and for Americans,\u201d noted PMBF Director David Dumke.
\nThe conference will feature Saudi and American speakers, including UCF and PMU faculty, from a variety of academic and business fields. In a series of panels, coupled with special addresses, experts will highlight the design, implementation, and expected results of ongoing reforms, the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, and opportunities and challenges. The conference is designed to be interactive, and the audience will include students, faculty, and members of the businesses community.<\/p>\n

UCF and PMU are calling for papers from prospective participants on a range of topics, including:<\/p>\n

Saudi economic diversification (role of private sector, FDI)
\nResource management (water, agriculture & food, energy, environmental protection)
\nEducation sector (Saudi education investments, growth of public and private educational institutions, producing a globally competitive workforce)
\nRole of the Saudi youth in economic development (including entrepreneurship)
\nRole of the Saudi youth\/cultural dimensions
\nBalancing Change & Tradition (role of women, role of Islam, social media influence)
\nNew sectors (tourism, sports and entertainment sector)
\nUS-Saudi educational cooperation (at student and institutional level, collaborative research, medical education)
\nFuture of the energy sector and sustainability
\nModels for sustainable development (smart cities, urban landscape, infrastructure)
\nDeveloping a space program
\nFuture of US-Saudi relations
\nSaudi Arabia\u2019s regional role (what is the \u201cnew order\u201d in the Middle East?, future of the Gulf, evolving American regional role)
\nSecurity cooperation (war on terrorism\/extremism, military to military cooperation, cybersecurity and emerging threats)
\nThose who submit papers are welcome to participate as panelists at the conference. All accepted papers would be published in the Online Conference Proceedings with dedicated ISBN Number. We would ask those interested to let conference organizers know in advance (see contact information below). Papers must be submitted by Monday, December 10, 2018.<\/p>\n

Veteran Saudi journalist and foreign policy analyst Khaled Al Maeena, Senior Nonresident Fellow for Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Program for Strategic Research & Studies, was the featured speaker at an event hosted by the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC on August 15. The PMBF Program and NAAM Association cosponsored the event which focused on Saudi Arabia\u2019s foreign policy and implementation of the 2030 national development.<\/p>\n

There has been considerable discussion over the past year about Saudi Arabia\u2019s ongoing economic and social reforms, which have been championed by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Al Maeena stressed that the changes taking place were absolutely necessary for the Kingdom\u2019s survival. In fact, the Kingdom\u2019s over-reliance on oil, inability to create enough jobs or provide opportunities for the large youth population, and unwillingness to address women\u2019s issues was a growing liability. Thus, the 2030 era of reforms were badly needed and have been very popular with the Saudi public.<\/p>\n

Al Maeena also discussed Riyad\u2019s foreign policy, including relations with the Gulf, the broader Middle East, and Washington. He answered difficult questions about a number of serious foreign policy challenges, including the ongoing war in Yemen, the blockade of Qatar, the recent diplomatic spat with Canada, as well as Iran, Iraq, and Syria. He noted that Riyadh has had to adopt a new, assertive leadership role in the evolving region to meet a growing number of threats. Ultimately, the Kingdom hopes to work with Washington to foment regional stability and order.<\/p>\n

The event, \u201c2030 Saudi Arabia: A Conversation with Khaled Al Maeena,\u201d was moderated by Ambassador (retired) Gerald Feierstein, Director of Government Relations, Policy, and Programs and the Middle East Institute (MEI). Guests included Washington-based foreign policy experts, scholars, and members of the press. MEI is a partnering with UCF\u2019s PMBF Program on a project looking at the future of the Middle East through key regional relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that Saudi voices are heard by those working on policy at the highest levels in Washington. Khaled Al Maeena is a respected, independent voice on Saudi Arabian domestic and foreign policy matters. We are pleased to keep working with MEI to promote understanding of the Kingdom,\u201d stated PMBF Director David Dumke.<\/p>\n

The Washington event was also cosponsored by NAAM Association, a non-government organization devoted to cultural dialog which is headed largely by Saudi civic and business leaders. NAAM often partners with other non-government organizations, including the UCF PMBF Program, to accomplish dialog and social development goals.<\/p>\n

UCF and its partner, Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, will be hosting a conference on Saudi youth, the 2030 plan, and US-Saudi relations in Orlando January 17-18, 2019.
