Saudi Ministry of Culture Selects 20 Research Proposals for Camel Studies Grant

Saudi Ministry of Culture Selects 20 Research Proposals for Camel Studies Grant

The Saudi Ministry of Culture has completed the assessment and selection process for the Camel Studies Grant, which was introduced last June in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, along with King Faisal University.

The grant targets researchers interested in camel-related studies, with a focus on boosting cultural research output in areas connected to cultural, social, and economic aspects through scientific exploration across diverse specialized fields in the camel sector.

Out of 405 applications from 15 countries, the ministry has chosen 20 research proposals that met the necessary criteria. The selected researchers will receive financial and scientific assistance throughout their research endeavors that will eventually lead to the publication of scientific papers, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.

The grant covers six key areas: historical, cultural, social, economic, environmental, and health dimensions; the objective is to examine relevant subjects with modern concepts, theories, and methodologies.

The grant is part of the activities carried out under the "2024, The Year of the Camel" initiative, which coincides with the United Nations General Assembly declaring 2024 as the International Year of Camelids.

The grant seeks to encourage the study of the camel as a symbol of Saudi culture, preserve the national heritage, highlight the intangible heritage linked to camels in the Kingdom, strengthen national identity, and promote Saudi culture on the global stage.
