Abstract |
: |
This is a preliminary attempt to study a task that must be readily undertaken by our Arab World without any further postponement or slowing, viz., the task of renaissance of methodical scientific research so as to employ it in industrial development. Our method of study is a SWOT analysis of the task situation, which is an analysis listing the favorable conditions (strengths and opportunities) as well as the unfavorable ones (weaknesses and challenges). SWOT analysis is beneficial in forming a quick impression about the pertinent situation. It also seeks a consensus on common understanding of the nature, characteristics, and conditions of the given task. Consequently, it allows the introduction of effective ideas for implementing the task. We tried our best herein to deduce novel practical plans for implementing the task. These plans are definitely not a mere repetition or a re-echo of the existing published literature, which has various political, scientific, economic, social, and language aspects. However, we focus on one of the indispensable plans, viz., a plan of reactivating and enabling Arabic as the language of thinking, learning, teaching and scientific research and publishing, as well as the language of intercommunication between scientists, researchers and engineers on one hand, and technologists, technicians, and workers on the other hand. Additionally, we discuss certain necessary trends of research and development, taken as non-separate endeavors representing facets of the same entity. These trends include sustainable development, investment in traditional, historic, and heritage industries, moving vigorously into a knowledge society, achieving specialization at the country level and integration at the Arab national level, and finally (but not last) entering the promising fields of renewable energy (particularly nuclear and solar energies), new materials, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Finally, several issues relevant to the cultural aspects of research and development are summarized, and some additional comments and future questions are added. |
