Dubai’s policy work has been recognized by key platforms globally including the Rome Med Dialogues and the World Economic Forum.

After setting up Fiker Institute's research programs and curating its policy agenda, Dubai launched the Institute’s Politics Library, currently located at Alserkal Avenue in Dubai, as part of the think tank’s expansion plan. It houses a collection of over 15,000 books on foreign policy, global politics, and international development.
