The UAE has won the bid to host Cospar 2028, a prestigious space research event.
More than 3,000 experts are expected to attend the event, which will be held in the Arab world for the first time.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, announced the news on X.
"We are pleased to announce that the UAE has won the bid to host Cospar 2028, the world’s largest event focused on space research," Sheikh Hamdan wrote.
"Set to be held for the first time in the Arab world, the event will bring together more than 3,000 researchers, experts, and scientists to present and discuss groundbreaking scientific research."
This year's edition, held in Athens, Greece, finished earlier this week.
Sheikh Hamdan said winning the bid was an indication of how the UAE had positioned itself as a global player in the space industry.
Earlier this month, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, met with Nora Al Matrooshi, the first Emirati woman to be selected as an astronaut, and her colleague Mohammed Al Mulla.
