As part of Qatar Foundation’s educational renaissance project, HBKU is at the heart of Qatar’s strategy to invest in human capital and contribute to the diversification of the economy. The country’s economic and social development demanded the critical thinking and skills that a high-quality research education could provide. These knowledge investments continue to support Qatar in achieving economic, social and sustainable development. Our goal moving forward is to lead all possible efforts in creating high-impact research outcomes and addressing areas of vital national importance, including artificial intelligence, climate change, and quantum data analysis.
