About the Award

The Psychology Dictionary Award for Scientific Research, established under the umbrella of the UAE-Russia Psychology Dictionary Project, is a prestigious platform that aims to promote and support excellence in scientific research and psychological studies. This award reaffirms the commitment to encourage academic dialogue and the development of psychological research between Arabic- and Russian-speaking academic communities, as it provides an opportunity for students, researchers and academics to showcase their scientific contributions and highlight intercultural research that enriches global understanding of the field of psychology.

The Emirati-Russian Psychological Dictionary was developed through a fruitful academic collaboration between Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination and Ural Federal University, with the aim of addressing the urgent need for a comprehensive reference covering psychological terminology in Arabic and Russian. The Emirates Researchers Center for Research and Studies, part of the Emirates Foundation for Science and Research, is participating in this academic initiative, highlighting the importance of scientific cooperation to promote cross-cultural knowledge.

The award seeks to recognize pioneering research that addresses complex challenges in translating and adapting psychological concepts between Arabic and Russian. Furthermore, the award recognises the vital role of technology in modern research by dedicating a special category to the best use of Dictionary GPT, a sophisticated artificial intelligence tool trained on dictionary data. This approach highlights the future vision of the initiative, which combines traditional scientific research with innovative technical solutions.

The International Psychology Award not only celebrates individual academic achievements, but also promotes a spirit of collective pursuit of knowledge. Through this award, the Emirati-Russian Psychological Dictionary project aspires to contribute to enriching global psychological knowledge, supporting emerging researchers, and inspiring future research that reflects the growing interconnectedness of our world.
