About the award
Innovation is shaped in real work environments
In a world where the need for education that keeps pace with reality and responds to its challenges is growing, the Innovation Award for Dual Studies Students at Al-Quds University affirms that innovation is not born solely in lecture halls, but is shaped in real work environments and through the everyday challenges faced by institutions and companies.
Al-Quds University launched the first edition of the 2025 Innovation Award as a distinguished platform to celebrate ideas that moved beyond theory and were transformed into practical solutions that made a tangible impact in the workplace. The award was not merely a competition; rather, it served as a space to honor students who, through their graduation projects, demonstrated strong capabilities in critical thinking, innovation, and applied creativity.
How it works
From idea to impact
The award focuses exclusively on graduation projects built within the dual studies model — where students are active contributors, participating in decision-making and evaluated on the impact they achieve.
Projects inside partner companies
Graduation projects developed and implemented within Dual Studies partner companies, solving real challenges and improving performance, processes and tools.
Rigorous evaluation

On-site documentation
Each finalist project was documented inside its partner company — from the initial idea through development to practical implementation.
Recognition
Winning projects were honored and their creators recognized with financial and honorary awards.
