ExxonMobil is partnering with local organisations to continually advance research, as emphasised by ExxonMobil Research Qatar’s (EMRQ) involvement at the Qatar Foundation’s Annual Research Conference (ARC’14). |
EMRQ’s participation in the annual event enables ExxonMobil Qatar to highlight EMRQ’s signature programmes and demonstrate how they are helping move Qatar towards world-class research and innovation with every project.
The conference provides a unique platform to activate multi-disciplinary knowledge sharing and collaboration needed to tackle the most pressing national challenges in research, as well as strengthen Qatar’s research and development sector.
Dr Jennifer Dupont, research director at EMRQ, stressed the importance of the forum. “ARC’14 is a significant undertaking for Qatar’s research community as it provides an opportunity to showcase and progress efforts towards cementing Qatar’s status as a leading international centre for quality research and innovation,” she said.
“Our work at EMRQ directly supports this goal, while providing a rigorous scientific basis for assessing risk to be used in the development of environmental management strategies and always maintaining safety as a priority.”
EMRQ’s involvement as a conference exhibitor features several visuals depicting various projects: coral work, water reuse modeling efforts, geological processes, and native species ecotoxicology. In addition, a dugong skeleton is a highlight of the interactive display.
