MUSCAT: The meeting of  State Council Bureau held on Monday discussed the study of ‘Empowering researchers in academic and research institutions and linking them to industrial and commercial institutions”. The tenth Bureau meeting was chaired by Dr Yahya bin Mahfoudh Al Mantheri and held in the presence of Bureau members and the Secretary General of the Council. The meeting hosted Dr Abdullah Mubarak Salim al Shanfari, Head of the Committee of Education and Research and Dr Rashid Abdullah Masoud al Yahyai, Rapporteur of the Committee for deliberation on the study.


The study aims to monitor the reality of researchers in academic and research institutions, review legislations governing research and access legislation and the experiences of some of the leading countries in this field, as well as take a stand on the challenges and the development of proposals to overcome them. During the meeting, the Bureau discussed the report of the Special Committee to review the annual report of the State Financial and Administrative Control Authority for the fiscal year 2015.


The Bureau also discussed the draft laws approved by the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and discussed a proposal to distribute the laws issued before the issuance of the statutes of the State within the Council’s jurisdiction.


The Bureau was briefed on the Council of Ministers’ response to the studies submitted by the State Council on “Civil society organisations from the legislative and supervisory perspective” and “The mechanism for developing the role of Omani women’s associations”.


It also noted the report of the General Secretariat on the role of the Traffic Law in curtailing accidents and the preservation of life and property and the accompanying exhibition, as well as observed a graphic presentation on the “philosophy of education in the Sultanate.” The meeting also fixed the date and agenda for the 10th and 11th regular meetings of the second annual session of the sixth term.
