Introducing CEIDR
About Us
CEIDR is a research institute launched by the Modern University of Business and Science MUBS in January 2025.
CEIDR was born out of its founders’ strong belief in the fundamental role that research plays in shaping society and in prompting progress. Without evidence-based and socially impactful studies, especially youth led research, there is little hope in designing and implementing relevant and efficient initiatives that can achieve a much-needed change in our society.
Vision:
The Cultural and Educational Institute for Development and Research aims to pioneer the field of sustainable development by promoting knowledge and scientific research, providing innovative research that contributes to societal development, and building effective partnerships with research institutions to enhance awareness and achieve sustainable social and economic development at the local and international levels.
Mission:
The Cultural and Educational Institute for Development and Research works to conduct comprehensive multidimensional studies to analyze the challenges facing education and development in society, with a focus on the responsibility of education in identifying these challenges and proposing innovative solutions through educational and research programs that contribute to the promotion of sustainable development. The institute is committed to supporting policies that promote development initiatives, streamline public policies, and develop economic plans that serve the well-being of society and enhance the quality of life.
