Education City -
Transforming a Nation
QF aims to be a major agent of change for the nation.
QF’s higher education ecosystem consists of a diverse
range of education facilities, including QF’s home-
grown Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) and eight
handpicked, world-class partner universities from leading
academic institutions. Since QF’s inception, more than
3,000 young men and women have graduated and are
currently pursuing rewarding careers, working with
leading organisations in Qatar and around the world.
QF not only strives to provide quality education, but
also seeks to embed the culture of science, research, and
innovation into society. Stars of Science is a testament
of QF’s commitment to this. As the Arab world’s leading
science and innovation TV show, Stars of Science
provides a platform for the region’s aspiring science and
technology entrepreneurs to generate innovations that
meet the needs of local communities. Stars of Science
recently concluded its ninth season.

education is demonstrated
via The World Innovation
Summit for Education
(WISE). WISE brings a
diverse cohort of education
stakeholders to Doha to
discuss ways to respond to
the world’s most pressing
education problems,
turn challenges into
opportunities for positive
change, and build the
future of education.
