Iranian threats to the close of Strait of Hormuz pose more than just a challenge to the global economy and wider energy security, warns the College of Law's Dr. Ahmed Al-Sulaiti. They may also be a breach of international law. Find out why here.

As the CSE's Dr. Azzam Abu-Rayash and Aisha Al-Naama see it , modern cities often erode heritage, displace communities, and replace culturally rooted, communal ways of living. In doing so, they also foster alienation, weaken social bonds, and disconnect people from memory, meaning, and nature.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has exposed the fragility of Gulf – East Asia energy interdependence, notably between Qatar and Japan, writes the CPP’s Dr. Evren Tok. In response, both countries are evolving their relationship to build a more resilient framework for a stable future.

Convening leading researchers, academics, and practitioners, the symposium explored how AI-driven methods are reshaping scientific inquiry while strengthening ties within Qatar's growing research community and beyond.

Researchers from Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) and Google DeepMind jointly organized the second Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Machine Learning Winter School (MenaML) at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Saudi Arabia.

While autism touches millions of lives worldwide, public understanding often lags far behind scientific knowledge. Viewed for decades as primarily a childhood condition and something to be addressed in the early years, it was widely thought autism might eventually be outgrown. This misconception created a ‘lost generation’ of autistic adults who have navigated life without understanding themselves, without access to appropriate support, and often carrying the weight of wondering why everything feels harder for them than for others.

Qatar’s signing of the United Nations Convention Against Cybercrime largely aligns with the State’s pre-existing legal framework. Writing for Gulf Times , the College of Law’s Dean Susan L.
