A series of key decisions were also made to promote international publishing and develop the incentive and administrative frameworks for scientific journals. These included approving the formation of boards of directors, editorial boards, and financial and administrative teams for a number of specialized journals published by the University’s faculties.

In a related development, the Board approved the purchase of DSpace, a software platform primarily used to create and manage digital repositories. It also approved holding a training workshop on October 27–28, 2026, entitled “The Strategic Path for International Indexing: A Roadmap for Academic Journals,” to strengthen mechanisms for the international indexing and ranking of academic journals. These decisions were made during the Scientific Journals meeting.
During the meeting of the Supreme Committee of the Anti-Violence Unit, the committee reviewed a plan to raise awareness of the Unit’s role among new students at the beginning of the academic year through welcoming activities organized by the University’s faculties.

It also reviewed and discussed issues and cases raised by male and female students, exploring appropriate ways to address them through direct coordination and cooperation with the University’s Safe Women’s Clinics.
