The Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) is participating as a “Knowledge Partner” in the second edition of the Global Media Congress, to be held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center (ADNEC) from 14th to 16th November 2023.
Dr. Sultan Al Nuaimi, Director-General of ECSSR, stressed that the centre is keen to participate in the Global Media Congress as part of its role to support national events and promote discussion on strategic and cognitive issues.
Dr. Al Nuaimi said that since its first session, which was held last year, this annual event has become a vital platform for studying the latest developments and trends in the media sector, noting the importance of focusing in the current session on the issue of sustainability, in conjunction with the UAE hosting COP28 at the end of this month, and the declaration of 2023 as the “Year of Sustainability”.
The centre’s participation during the event includes organising “strategic dialogue sessions” at its pavilion. In these sessions, participants from ECSSR will discuss the four main themes of the conference, which are Sustainability; Sports Media; Innovation and latest technologies in Media; and Youth, Education and the Future of Media.
The centre will also organise a panel discussion on the role of think tanks in studying climate change issues, featuring prominent researchers and academics. The ECSSR’s pavilion will feature a collection of its recent publications in a number of fields, in addition to introducing the centre’s role and contributions to supporting the decision-making process, preparing specialised studies and research, community service and enhancing the culture of scientific research.
