DEWA’s R&D Centre develops national capabilities through Al Baheth programme
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA)’s Research and Development (R&D) Centre, through the Al-Baheth programme, develops and refines Emirati talents and competencies. Thanks to this programme, they can engage in research, competitions, events and training, organised by the Centre in cooperation with major international companies and a select group of researchers, academics and international speakers. So far, the programme has hosted 95 students for internships from 20 different nationalities from 23 local and international universities, to develop their knowledge, and experience and prepare them for the job market. This enhances the Centre’s role in advancing research in energy and water to prepare for future challenges. Since the launch of the Al Baheth programme, the R&D Centre has attracted 15 trainees, including five Emiratis, to join DEWA’s team.
