KIC has a functional Research Unit with operational policies, processes, strategies for research and innovation. The research themes of academic departments are consistent with the Global and UAE development plans, particularly the UAE and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals. The primary objective of KIC in this area is to provide a collegiate environment in which research and staff development are primary activities and form the base of a developing academic community founded on the principles of innovation and inquisitiveness. The College seeks to raise its research profile and encourage the development of novel and applied research, both of which will add to the knowledge and help to solve specific business and technology problems associated with the development of the UAE as well as acting as teaching vehicles for further students’ engagement in the education process.
