Gulf Medical University (GMU) in Ajman successfully hosted the 19th Annual Inter-School Medical, Science, Arts & Humanities Exhibition and Contest (MASE 2025), marking a milestone in the UAE’s academic calendar.

The exhibition, inaugurated by Professor Manda Venkatramana, Chancellor of GMU, celebrated the creativity and innovation of young minds. Prof. Venkatramana emphasized the importance of fostering curiosity and interdisciplinary thinking, stating, ‘MASE reflects our belief that education must ignite curiosity and innovation. This platform showcases how the next generation is shaping the future of science, art, and humanity.’ Since its inception nearly two decades ago by Dr. Thumbay Moideen, MASE has evolved into a flagship event, encouraging students to explore real-world applications of science, medicine, and the arts. The 2025 edition featured interactive projects, live experiments, digital art showcases, health awareness campaigns, and robotics challenges. GMU’s specialized colleges, including Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Health Sciences, Nursing, and AI in Health Informatics, hosted hands-on workshops, offering students a glimpse into modern healthcare education. The event also saw active participation from teachers, mentors, and parents, who supported students competing in categories such as ‘Best Scientific Innovation,’ ‘Health Awareness Campaign,’ ‘Creative Art Display,’ and ‘Social Impact Projects.’ MASE has grown into a national platform recognized for fostering innovation, interdisciplinary thinking, and community engagement among UAE students.
