As part of the activities celebrating Innovation Month and in conjunction with Sharjah Innovation Week, the Deanship of Student Affairs at the University of Sharjah organized the first forum titled "Student Innovation Platform" under the slogan "A Future to Be Innovated". The event aimed to inspire and encourage students to engage in creativity and innovation, while also raising awareness about the importance of protecting their ideas and projects through intellectual property rights.

The forum featured a specialized workshop delivered by Dr. Mohamed Al Hemairy, Head of the Technology Transfer Office at the University of Sharjah. During the session, Dr. Al Hemairy discussed the concepts and types of intellectual property (IP) and its crucial role in safeguarding innovations and enabling their transformation into viable, real-world projects. He also emphasized the importance of empowering students with the knowledge of patent registration processes and how to convert innovative ideas into products that contribute to the knowledge-based economy.
