QUARFE 2022 

Qatar University Annual Research Forum and Exhibition (QUARFE) is the meeting point for students, researchers, and academics from the University’s colleges, centers, and institutes, including partners and stakeholders, to assess and review the institution’s research enterprise.

This year’s high profile event will revolve around the "University of the Future", a university playing its role in sustainable development, despite the current regional and international challenges. It is an occasion to demonstrate new tools or reports on implementing new programs, collaborations, innovations and other relevant projects that take bearing from the Qatar University (QU) Research Roadmap 2018-2022, Qatar National Research Strategy and Qatar National Vision 2030.

QUARFE offers QU the opportunity to demonstrate how it has been addressing the community’s challenges through research anchored on a vibrant partnership with various industries and stakeholders, including institutions and research centers. The forum will also highlight the important and award-winning research being conducted at QU that promotes the vision of the University, and supports the research priorities of Qatar and the goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030.

Through this, the University aims to achieve research-driven learning, discovery, and entrepreneurship. The event also provides leverage for QU faculty and students to be able to access and make the maximum use of opportunities offered by respective partners.
