Emirates Aviation University partners with Coventry University to launch research centre

Building upon an existing partnership, Emirates Aviation University (EAU) and Coventry University have revealed plans to launch a new research centre and doctoral training college. Set to be established in Dubai, the Research Centre for Digital Innovation and Artificial Intelligence is tasked in exploring the potential application of digital technologies and AI across a number of sectors including aviation, security and smart cities. "Our partnership with Coventry has always added value to the education that our students received and it's proved to be successful. The opening of the new research centre and doctoral training college is a testament to our growing commitment to always provide students with the best tools to develop their skills and capabilities", said Dr Ahmad Al Ali, Vice-Chancellor of Emirates Aviation University. The research centre's programme will reportedly be closely aligned with academic objectives of the Coventry University's Research Institute for Future Transport and Cities. It will include activities aimed at supporting the growth of Dubai's aviation sector, as well as discovering new approaches in urban development. While research students will be based in Dubai, they will not only have support from Coventry University academics, but also the opportunity to travel and visit Coventry.
