AUIC helps faculty and student innovators at Ajman University protect their inventions, find commercial partners, and build ventures — through Atheer, a structured, AI-assisted platform that replaces the email chains of yesterday.
End-to-end support for invention disclosures, prior-art assessment, and patent prosecution — across UAE, GCC, and international jurisdictions.
Read the IP guidelinesWe connect faculty inventions with industry partners — sponsored research, pilots, and joint development that turn university IP into real-world impact.
See active partnershipsSpin-out support, incubation space, and access to UAE's startup ecosystem — for students and faculty turning research into a venture.
Programs in developmentEvery application moves through the same five stages in Atheer. You always know where yours stands, who's looking at it, and what's next.
A researcher's time belongs to the invention — not to chasing an email thread. Atheer gives every disclosure a named owner, a visible stage, and a deadline the centre is accountable to. That is the standard we want to be measured against.
Whether you're a senior faculty member protecting a decade of work or an undergraduate with a final-year project worth filing, Atheer supports you the same way. Same standard of care, calibrated to where you are.
Strategic priorities for the centre. We accept disclosures across all university research, but these areas have dedicated review tracks and partner networks.
Machine learning, computer vision, natural language, applied AI in clinical and industrial settings.
Medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, drug delivery, and biotechnology.
Clean energy, water, materials science, and climate-adjacent technologies for the region.
Learning platforms, assessment, accessibility, and tools for higher-education delivery.
