Guided by the principle that a nation's greatest resource is the potential of its people, Qatar Foundation aims to develop people's abilities through a network of centers devoted to progressive education, scientific research and community welfare, thus helping build a sustainable society where the sharing and creation of knowledge will enhance quality of life for all.
Qatar Foundation was established in 1995 by His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, Emir of Qatar, as a vehicle to convert the country's current, but temporary, mineral wealth into durable human capital.
Qatar Foundation is chaired by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, consort of the Emir, who supports and guides this process.
Qatar Foundation sets out to be an asset not just for Qatar, but for the entire Middle East region and it already touches communities and individuals well beyond the country's border.
The headquarters of Qatar Foundation are located within its flagship project, Education City, which is, in essence, a university of universities. It provides the highest quality of education and has attached a community of educational and research institutions that serve citizens, from early childhood education to post-graduate study. Moreover, Education City provides researchers with world class facilities and well-trained graduates, the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded people and the opportunity to transfer ideas into real-world applications. Education City is a place where bridges are being built between different cultures with a view to creating a better future for all.
