The University Chancellor welcomed the attendees, expressing his happiness at this annual meeting that brings together the University of Sharjah and educational institutions in the country – those institutions that he described as playing a vital role in preparing generations to join the University. He then praised this joint cooperation, which he stressed is very important in laying the basis for teaching and learning in all societies.

The Chancellor then mentioned the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council, Ruler of Sharjah, and President of the University, when he established the University of Sharjah as a national development project that aims to prepare and qualify generations able to contribute to the service of their homeland and keep pace with modern technological developments.
