Bold moves forward in international higher education

Qatar Foundation's initiative through Education City is no longer an experiment but a success worthy of replication. Speaking at a forum on international education, Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, CEO of Qatar Foundation, commented that 20 years of experience at Education City has proven that that not only is approximate replication possible but, indeed, new innovations can be the result. "We continuously want to innovate and try something different. It is trying something -- it's not just implanting something that exists, but actually creating something that makes sense" in the example of Qatar.

In a separate article, Qatar Foundation is noted for innovation as a talent hub. While not the only one, it is unique for having launched the idea 20 years ago of hosting branch campuses in a shared location, providing research funding and access, and positioning programs to building the human capacity of those who teach, research, and study at Education City.
