I wrote briefly about this the other day, but would like to repeat the link for the Abu Dhabi Festival of Thinkers. A range of globally prominent intellectuals are invited, including many Nobel laureates and the Nobel Foundation.
The idea of fostering creativity in academic and intellectual terms for the development of the Arab world is interesting and necessary. The theme has been brought up repeatedly in recent years, for instance by Arab human development report. I believe we will see repeated instances of attempts to highlight and implement these ideas, not least in the Gulf. I will do what I can to point at these activities in this blog also in the future.
