Research and Industry

Several centers based at Education City focus on science and research. These include:

  • RAND-Qatar Policy Institute (RQPI), which complex policy problems and helps implement enduring solutions for clients across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
  • Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), a state-of-the-art facility comprising 45,000 square meters of office and laboratory space. QSTP aims to fuel Qatar’s knowledge economy by encouraging companies from around the world to develop and commercialize their technology in Qatar, and by helping entrepreneurs to launch start-up technology businesses.
  • Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), which supports research that is in the national interest. It was established to provide opportunities for researchers at all levels, from students to professionals, in the private, public, and academic sectors.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or industry:

    “The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)

    “It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterwards. The fortune of our lives therefore depends on employing well the short period of our youth.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
