Qatar University College of Engineering (QU-CENG) and the British Council yesterday organised two workshops on “Capacity Building for Researchers”, to promote professional development among researchers in key areas and to boost their critical thinking and communication skills.
Organised in collaboration with the UK Science and Innovation Network and the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the workshops engaged over 40 early career researchers.
The participants were provided with a series of modules delivered by experienced trainers. They gained a deep understanding of and got an insight into the tools of an effective communication.
Dean Dr Khalifa al-Khalifa said the workshops were part of CENG’s commitment to developing the research outcomes delivered by researchers and to strengthening collaborations between academic organisations in Qatar.
“This will contribute to helping researchers at CENG reach the required results at the needed time using the best procedures and methods in a way that will benefit the society in Qatar and the region.”
British Council Qatar director Dr Frank Fitzpatrick said the organisation seeks to promote collaboration with the UK in education and culture worldwide.
“We are delighted to collaborate with Qatar University in developing their research capability so that their researchers can participate in further scientific collaboration with the UK in future.”
