Qatar Foundation’s Annual Research Conference (ARC’14) is calling on the local science and research community to help address Qatar’s grand challenges by participating at the event next month.
Held under the patronage of HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, chairperson of Qatar Foundation, organisers are looking forward to many local experts joining international peers for the two-day event to be held on November 18 and 19.
The conference will bring together expertise from Qatar and Qatar Foundation’s Research and Development (QF R&D) key entities, in addition to international subject matter experts to address the country’s cyber security, solar and renewable energy solutions, integrated healthcare and social grand challenges.
ARC’14 is hoping that delegates will generate compelling solutions and technologies for the greater good of Qatar, and ultimately for the region and wider world. Registration for the event can be made via http://www.qf-arc.org/.
As one of Qatar Foundation’s main pillars, QF R&D has been active in promoting the organisation’s vision of cultivating life-long learning and interest in science and research in Qatar. The annual research conference is regarded as the premier scientific research conference in Qatar, hosted by QF R&D.
Dr Nabeel al-Salem, executive director of Outreach and Communications at QF R&D said: “It is critical that we engage and energise our Qatar-based expertise to play an active role in ARC’14.
“The upcoming event will also provide an excellent platform for peer-to-peer interaction. With less than one month to go, we are calling on our community, institutes, centres and universities, to participate in this important conference to propel the country towards a diversified economy and the realisation of the Qatar National Vision 2030.”
ARC’14 will offer thought-provoking panel discussions, technical presentations, and high-powered debates where leading experts will share constructive experiences and innovative approaches ‘Towards World-Class Research and Innovation.’ Abstract submissions will also be chosen on their merit and presented by leading local scientists on how to help address, lead and guide Qatar’s research agenda.
