The Foundation's public events' primary function is to promote and facilitate communication and dialogue between citizens of the Gulf region, notably through media and the above mentioned conferences and workshops.

Several academic programs will also be an important part of the Gulf Research Center Foundation's work. A library on the GCC countries shall be established in Geneva and several academic education programs are to be promoted. As a result, this can encourage the enrolment of students from the GCC and other Arab countries.
