Doha, Qatar: The newly launched Lusail Institute, the academic arm of the upcoming Lusail Museum, aims to generate advanced research in history and art while contributing to global cultural dialogue, positioning itself as an international research centre dedicated to producing original scholarship supported by a global network of collaborators. 

Speaking to The Peninsula recently, Director of the Lusail Institute Professor Alain Fouad George said that the initiative has been in development for more than a year and a half. 

“We have a team within Lusail Museum that is creating this new structure,” he said. 

“The most important collaboration is with Georgetown University in Qatar. We also have a collaboration with Oxford University, and we are developing a further network of partnerships,” said Prof George.  

Beyond research, the Lusail Institute also seeks to position itself as a cultural forum, encouraging intellectual exchange and future-oriented thinking.
