About Qatar Foundation

Qatar Foundation (QF) is a not-for-profit organization where centers and programs focused on education, research and innovation, and community development intertwine for the benefit of Qatar, and the world. Founded in 1995 by His Highness the Father Amir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, QF is chaired by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser.

For over two decades, Qatar Foundation has been driving regional innovation and entrepreneurship, fostering social development and a culture of lifelong learning, and preparing our brightest minds to tackle tomorrow’s biggest challenges. Qatar Foundation launched Education City, its flagship initiative, a campus that spans more than 12 square kilometers and hosts branch campuses of some of the world’s leading educational institutes, a homegrown university, and other research, scholastic, and community centers. Together, these institutes make Education City a unique model of academic and research excellence, pioneering a new approach to multidisciplinary, global education and enabling breakthroughs that benefit Qatar and the rest of the world. Meanwhile, its science and research projects and initiatives build Qatar’s innovation and technology capacity by developing and commercializing solutions through key sciences. Finally, Qatar Foundation works toward fostering a progressive society while also enhancing cultural life, protecting Qatar’s heritage, and addressing immediate social needs in the community.
