The initiative aimed to raise community awareness about the importance of supporting Qatari industries and products, highlighting their role in advancing sustainable development and fostering a culture of social responsibility within the university community.

The initiative was organised through the collaborative efforts of students enrolled in the Leadership, Innovation and Civic Engagement (UNIV200) and the Community Service Learning (UNIV220) courses, reflecting QU’s commitment to linking academic outcomes with practical application and empowering students to actively contribute to national priority areas.

In its humanitarian dimension, the organising committee announced that all profits from the initiative would be allocated to support students facing financial difficulties in paying tuition fees, in accordance with a permit issued by the Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities.

Their engagement in organising the ‘Made in Qatar’ initiative reflects a strong awareness of national sustainability priorities and translates academic learning outcomes into tangible impact that serves the university community and supports their peers’ academic journeys.”
