Doha, Qatar: Supporting academic research, especially for multidisciplinary initiatives that seek impactful change is within Qatar Foundation’s (QF) higher education priority areas, said Samah Abdulhafid Gamar, Ph.D., Director, Academic Affairs, Qatar Foundation.

She told The Peninsula in an exclusive interview that QF will be launching a new cycle of multidisciplinary learning Research Grants this year which aim to vitalize cross-institutional research on academic matters facing an evidence gap and for which there is timely relevance.

She further said that Qatar Foundation welcomed close to 40 new faculty members this year, with a formal orientation to QF having been held on August 22. “This year’s new faculty members bring an impressive range of accolades and expertise to Education City universities in ways that contribute to a dynamic and interdisciplinary academic environment.”

“In terms of enhancing systems and operations, QF is exploring how AI can be integrated into teaching and learning platforms and administrative processes to provide more personalized support for students. AI’s ability to cater to individual learning styles offers a transformative potential for education and enables a more tailored and accessible approach to skill acquisition,” she said responding to another question.
