The Great Arab Minds (GAM) movement covers six key disciplines in which Great Arab Mindsā contributions will be discovered. Depending on the impact of these contributions on Arab societies and human progress, the awards will go to individuals across these six disciplines that represent the award categories, which are: Natural Sciences, Engineering & Technology, Literature & Arts, Architecture & Design, Economics, and Medicine.
Natural Sciences
The Great Arab Minds Natural Sciences Award is given to an individual who make significant contributions to advancing knowledge in any of the branches of natural sciences. This includes physics, chemistry, mathematics, and relevant sub-branches within these fields. The award recognizes breakthroughs and paradigm shifts that lead to new solutions and redefine our understanding of the field.
Physics
This category involves creating fundamental theoretical or practical knowledge related to matter and energy, along with any relevant branches of physics. This knowledge helps us comprehend the natural world and its mechanics better. It also aids us in developing the overall frameworks of discoveries andĀ technology in various other fields, enabling us to perceive and reshape the world in newer and moreĀ innovative ways.
Chemistry
This category encompassesĀ theoretical or practical research in all areas of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, and biochemistry. Its findings may aid in addressing challenges related to healthcare, energy consumption, and environmental pollution.
Mathematics
This category includes outstanding mathematical achievements in pure and applied mathematics, providing or paving the way for potentialĀ solutions and/or discoveries within the mathematical space or other disciplines, such as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Architecture & Design
The Great Arab Minds Architecture and Design Award is awarded to an individual who contribute to making breakthroughs or further developing technical knowledge in architecture and design branches, paving the way for new solutions and paradigm shifts that redefine our knowledge of the field. These include building structures and systems, natural ventilation, interior design, materials design, and urban design.Ā
Engineering & Technology
The Great Arab Minds Engineering and Technology Award is awarded to an individualĀ who contribute to making breakthroughs or innovations or further developing knowledge in any of the branches of engineering and technology, paving the way for new solutions and paradigm shifts that redefine our knowledge of the field.Ā This includes the innovation, construction, and maintenance of structures, machines, materials, devices, and processes across fields such as civil, electrical, chemical, biomedical, and informatics engineering, environmental/industrial biotechnology, information technology, data science,Ā robotics, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, programming, informatics, and computer networks.
Economics
The Great Arab Minds Economics award to an individual who contribute to developing macro and micro economic solutions, strategies, policies, research or theories, which make a positive impact, contributing to enhancing wealth, economic equity and market growth, and developing solutions to economic challenges. From the individual perspective the economy affects many of the choices we have to make about work, leisure, consumption, savings and other relevant behaviors.
Literature and Arts
The Great Arab Minds Literature and Arts Award is awarded to to an individual who create literary or artistic works that have a cultural, social, and intellectual impact and provoke meaningful thought.
