To enter Qatar Foundation’s ecosystem is to enter a landscape of countless opportunities. 

Opportunities for education, knowledge, discovery, and innovation. For creativity, expression, and the deepening of understanding. For community engagement, interaction and enjoyment – from participation in sports to immersion in cultural heritage. 

Above all, it is an ecosystem that offers the opportunity for everyone to explore, recognize, and realize their potential. 

Since our establishment in 1995, Qatar Foundation – driven by its values of excellence, community, innovation, integrity, and rootedness – has equipped young people to be the change-makers of today and tomorrow. 

We have enabled and advanced research and innovation that tackles the greatest challenges facing our world – from health to sustainability. 

And we have created and evolved an open, inclusive, and welcoming environment, within our Education City home, where people of all ages, cultures, and interests can – and do – engage in dialogue, broaden their minds, pursue their interests, and become part of our ever-unfolding story. 

Driven by a dedication to generating impact in five key areas – progressive education, sustainability, precision health, Artificial Intelligence, and social progress – everything we do is intended to:  

  • Advance society, economy, and wellbeing through education and research

  • Make our Education City a global hub for knowledge

  • Be the custodian of advancing the Arabic language, culture, heritage, and knowledge

  • Promote and engage in dialogue internationally to address and influence global topics

We do this to support the development of Qatar, the advancement of our region, and the wellbeing of our world. 

Because, for almost 30 years, we have always believed that human potential, when unlocked, makes anything possible. And we always will.
