The third session of the conference "The Role of Saudi Universities in Activating Vision 2030" continued at Qassim University, where the third session was held after the official opening ceremony of the conference, chaired by His Highness Prince Dr. Turki bin Saud bin Mohammed Al Saud, President of King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, under the title "Universities and Vision 2030", with the participation of His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Sulaiman Al-Jasser, former Minister of Economy and Planning, His Excellency Dr. Khaled bin Saleh Al-Sultan, President of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, His Excellency Dr. Mushabib bin Aiad Al-Qahtani, Director General of the Institute of Public Administration and Dr. Abdulrahman Zamel Group Holding Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Dr. Khalid bin Saleh Al-Sultan presented a working paper entitled "The Role of Saudi Universities in Activating Vision 2030, Reality and Hope." He presented the experiences of universities that were able to lead the transformation of societies and achieve the hopes of development in several developed countries, such as the contribution of the university sector to the British national product by about 40 billion pounds in one year, in addition to providing 340 thousand job opportunities through its various activities, where every one pound spent on knowledge exchange activities in British universities achieves an estimated return of 6.4 pounds, and in several developed countries such as the United States of America, Switzerland, Denmark and Canada, the same is the case in several developed countries.
Mr. Al-Sultan said that KFUPM has launched new initiatives in line with the aspirations of the vision, in addition to the quality initiatives already in place and continuing to implement them, based on promoting excellence in preparing national competencies and leaders, pioneering in water research and technologies and environmental protection, expanding the impact of the innovation and entrepreneurship system and contributing with pioneering initiatives to develop the national economy, building distinguished models of public education schools and developing the management of non-profit institutions, while diversifying the university's funding system.
His paper concluded that the implementation of the vision is important, but it is more important to have the depth and spirit of the vision, especially for universities, which global practices point to their double role in achieving what the vision aspires to, by focusing on measuring substantive achievements and tangible effects rather than relying on indicators and numbers.
Dr. Mashib bin Ayed Al-Qahtani, Director General of the Institute of Public Administration, presented a working paper on "The Role of the Institute of Administration in Achieving Vision 2030", based on enhancing the role of the Institute as a distinguished house of expertise to support institutional and administrative change and development, providing outstanding services that meet customer needs and achieve high levels of satisfaction, developing financial resources and increasing spending efficiency, in addition to developing a cohesive, interactive and responsive work environment to build motivated, capable and empowered human resources at the Institute, which contributes to increasing the interaction and societal impact of the Institute.
He also presented the initiatives of the Institute of Management in the National Transformation Program, which consist of discovering and attracting future administrative leaders in the public and private sectors and qualifying them according to international best practices, developing the knowledge and skills of current leaders to keep pace with the requirements of change and transformation in the administrative, economic and technical fields, in addition to developing relevant systems and regulations to support the access of qualified people to leadership positions, and building a framework that includes organizational mechanisms that contribute to meeting the training needs of civil servants and raising their efficiency by providing intensive training courses remotely.
Dr. Abdulrahman Al Zamil, Chairman of Zamil Holding Group, reviewed his organization's efforts in the field of scientific research development and the support it provides for this field.
