The Abdel Hameed Shoman Foundation was established in March 1978 with the objective of promoting social development in the Arab World in the fields of science and humanities. The Foundation supports a wide range of activities including the direct support of scientific institutions, the publication and dissemination of scientific research, and the production and financing of educational, cultural and scientific programs to be used at universities and colleges.

The Foundation organizes seminars, workshops and discussion groups emphasizing the need to bring scientific knowledge to a broader audience to enable the discussion of major topics of social and cultural importance openly and productively. The Foundation also supports the establishment of public libraries, and maintains an award program dedicated to science teachers, encouraging them to pursue innovative scientific research.
