Today

Ten years after its founding, Qatar Foundation's mission has never changed. We remain committed to improving quality of life and providing excellent educational opportunities to the people of Qatar and the region.

Our vision, on the other hand, has become progressively more far-reaching. As we reach out to new partners, both our capabilities and our ambitions expand.

A visit to Education City reveals a burgeoning community of institutions. The master plan, created by renowned Japanese architect Arata Isozaki, is beginning to fill in, as construction on several major facilities -- most recently the College of Engineering and Qatar Science and Technology Park -- gets underway.

Most of our students are citizens or residents of Qatar, but many come from other countries in the Gulf and throughout the Middle East. Some come from as far afield as the United States, New Zealand, South Africa and Bosnia. Our faculty and staff are equally diverse. Education City is a place where bridges are being built, between cultures and to a betterfuture.
