To be the top research university in the region; effectively contributing to economic growth and national development in Kuwait. With the inclusion of scientific research as an integral pillar of Kuwait University’s (KU) vision of higher education, realigning the fundamentals of Research Sector’s (RS) strategy with institutional mission became imperative to expedite development, and meet the requirements of national goals and priorities. This compelling obligation provided the framework for RS to redefine its vision and mission that would henceforth be instrumental in developing faculty research in line with Kuwait University’s vision “to be a leading university, distinct in higher education and scientific research,” and its mission focused on “Preparing individuals that are highly equipped with the knowledge necessary to carry out the nation’s developmental goals, and meet the needs of the modern era through quality in higher education and excellence in scientific research, and promoting community service.”
