QF’s President for R&D Facilitates Planning and Management Across Qatar’s R&D Community
QNRS defines our research objectives based on National priorities
QNRF: Enables
the research community to achieve objectives
Qatar’s R&D entities: Conduct
research that contributes
to objectives
QF R&D will facilitate, monitor and evaluate research activity
QSTP & Private Sector: Facilitate
innovation and the transition
of ideas into markets
