Qatar University lounge draws high interest at WISE 2015

Qatar University’s (QU) participation in the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) 2015 held on November 4-5 at Qatar National Convention Center (QNCC) drew high visitor interest to its information lounge at the Meet Qatar Zone exhibition area.

Exhibiting alongside 10 local education institutions partnering with WISE, it was an opportunity for QU to showcase its wealth of programs and achievements, and to strengthen its growing international reputation among the top universities in the world and a key partner in driving forward Qatar’s stated ambitions towards excellence in education. QU representatives were on hand at the lounge to brief the large number of local and international delegates and other visitors on the organization’s vision and mission, degree programs, research, scholarships and academic grants, accreditation, and its campus facilities and resources.

Commenting on the event, QU Vice President and Chief Academic Officer Dr Mazen Hasna said: “QU is pleased to participate in such an international forum that brings together leaders, academics, researchers, decisions and policy makers from around the world to share experiences and solutions and get insights on current and emerging trends in education. This highlights the organization’s role as the country’s first national institution of higher education committed to advancing quality higher education and research excellence in Qatar and the region.”
