Intro

Born from a unique vision. Built and evolved across a unique journey. Bringing benefit to the people of Qatar, the region, and the world through a unique ecosystem of knowledge, innovation, and opportunity. 

This is Qatar Foundation, which, from the moment it was established in 1995, has been committed to providing pathways for everyone – from students with big dreams, to innovators with groundbreaking ideas, to people with a thirst for learning, exploration, and social contribution – to unlock their full potential, and make a difference. 

Rooted in Arab cultural heritage, and with an outlook that is local, regional, and global, every day we are striving to create positive change across our mission areas of education, science and community development. And we are amplifying action and impact in five key strategic areas: progressive education, precision health, Artificial Intelligence, sustainability, and social progress. 

Our schools and universities cultivate the leaders of tomorrow through quality, inclusive, experiential education that nurtures not only academic excellence, but the mindsets, values, and life skills that characterize an agent of change. 

We are at the core of Qatar’s research, development, and innovation efforts: producing scientific breakthroughs, academic publications, and patented technologies; and spurring innovation and thought leadership in areas of priority for Qatar and the world. 

Everyone who enters our open, welcoming, and diverse Education City home, and who connects with our broader ecosystem, finds a vast spectrum of opportunities to broaden their mind and their skillset, engage in dialogue, embrace healthy and active living, and be a lifelong learner – whatever their age, culture, ability, and interests. 

Across everything we do, we have one goal: to support the development of Qatar, the advancement of the region, and the wellbeing of our world.  

We believe, and always will, that the path to achieving this goal is through investing in the most valuable resources our world possesses: knowledge, and people.
