The United Arab Emirates (UAE) marks this year as the Year of Community, a national theme that invites each of us to reflect on what it truly means to build lasting connections, support one another, and shape a shared future. At the UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science (UAEREP), these values are not just aspirations, they are the very foundation of how we conduct collaborative scientific research in rain enhancement.
